BROKERAGEAMERICA'S FREE TRADE OFFER HAS DOWNSIDES

New York: Everyone loves to get something for free. Unless it costs them in the end. BrokerageAmerica, the latest firm to enter the
free-trading business, doesn't charge commissions on market orders and gives its customers rebates on all stock trades. But the price customers
pay in foregone services could whittle that commission savings fast.

По моему опыту - в статье в общем все правильно написано... У них действительно есть недостатки:
1. Отсутсвие информации/анализа рынка
2. Отсутствие real-time quotes
3. Слабая техподдержка

НО пункты 1. и 2. это полная ерунда - по интернету полно бесплатных ресурсов...
пункт 3 - на мои е-мейлы они действительно не отвечали пару дней, тогда я позвонил им и решил все проблемы за 5 минут...
С бесплатными market order - все честно вроде...
