Unit 3 Discussion Topic 2
Topic 2: Web Field Trip
Select one of the online discount brokerages listed on Table 3.5, page 98 of your textbook. Visit their website, and see what you think.
Write a brief critique of your brokerage regarding the usability of the site, the quality of the site, and the usefulness of information provided. Be sure to examine the requirements and commission structures that this broker has for various accounts.
What is their commission structure? (58)
Do they offer different commissions for different types of investors (e.g., active traders or accounts with larger balances)?
Are there any other interesting requirements that your broker expects for an account?
Be sure to read others’ critiques of your or other brokerages, and comment on their critiques. Feel free to contribute your personal experiences or additional information you have obtained elsewhere.
