SureTrade

Pros: cheap trades, lots of trading options
Cons: slow site and hard to find what you want on it

In my opinion, Suretrade is good for one thing and one thing only, it is cheap! Their site is slow and with so many menus it is very hard to actually find what you want sometimes, especially without a high speed internet connection. I have had problems...

Pros: Easy stock purchasing and trades-$7.95 No minimum deposit
Cons: Can be slow and negligent to customer needs.

Last year for Christmas, grandpa and grandma sent my young son $100.00. We decided instead of buying more toys and video games, that we would invest the money in a stock account.

I checked online with some of the major brokerage firms- they...

Pros: None
Cons: Poor service and lots of mistakes!

Suretrade, which is now Quick & Reilly, has made so many mistakes on my account that I had to switch.

They will fix and have fixed errors, but who has time to keep track of them and follow up to make sure they correct their many simple...

Pros: Suretrade is an excellent, cheap on-line investment service
Cons: Investing with any discount brokerage comes w/inconveniences

Although I currently have no money invested with Suretrade, I have invested with them in the recent past. I find the people friendly and cooperative. When it's been necessary to phone in, they've been terrific. They have, on one occasion, given me the...

Pros: Low commissions, fast executions, free access to quality research, no minimum deposit
Cons: Poor customer service, slow Web site load time

If you're a seasoned online investor, SURETRADE.COM is the place to be, especially with its low commissions and fast executions. If you're a novice online investor, SURETRADE.COM is not the place to be. Its poor customer service along with its slow Web...

Pros: cheap
Cons: bad service, slow

Suretrade is a poor service for many reasons. First, the customer support is hardly existent and rude in the few times I had to talk to them. Second, the orders take forever to be placed. As you know, this can cost you a lot of money. Third, the site...

Pros: cheap trades
Cons: poor and unreliable service

I am a former Suretrade customer. Here are some reasons why I left and why I would caution others before depositing your money with them:

First and foremost, the customer service was terrible. I cannot recall the number of times that a...

Pros: Easy to sign-up, great screen display
Cons: Asian accessibility

Currently I'm in South Korea and would like to know how my account with SureTrade is doing; however I can't seem to access their URL. Vanguard, Morningstar and etc. are all accessible.

I selected this company's service simply because it...

Pros: Trade Prices are great!
Cons: Everything else besides the trade prices!

I was a Sure-Trade member for about 3 months over this past summer. However, I withdrew my account for a couple of reasons. It takes entirely too long for an order to execute through Sure-Trade even when the volume is low. This is intolerable in the fast...

Pros: Reasonably priced transactions, Easy to use and navigate, Quick online customer service
Cons: Phone customer service is slow, must make one transaction per year

I have been using Suretrade for several years. What drew me to them was their pricing structure. What has kept me with them is their ease of use. In the beginning, they were rather awkward and slow. Since that time, they have responded to consumer...

Pros: Customer service
Cons: Slow, can't import files.

Suretrade may be among the cheapest online brokerages, but it is far from the best. On three seperate occassions I requested withdrawals of my money sent to me by check. Each time the first check did not arrive, and I had to contact them to issue a...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Little Service

Terrible service. Suretrade offers little customer service and expect you to be able to email them and receive answers. They have little research. I also have an account with Etrade, and it is far superior. Orders are filled promptly and at lower prices....

Pros: Cheap, Simple, Easy
Cons: NONE for me

UPDATE:

Effective March 3, 2001 Suretrade was consolidated into Quick and Reilly.

The consolidation was HORRIBLE.

- First, we were given only 30 days notice. Not a lot of
time to research and find new companies....

Pros: low fees, quick transactions
Cons: clunky web site, often slow, unclear menu commands

I have been with Suretrade for several yeasr and have had some good and bad experiences. The good points are quick executions and e mail confirmations. Also the price is one of the lowest- $9.95. Recently I purchased a mutual fund which they listed as an...

Pros: Baseline stock reports, Margin interest rates, Stock trading prices, Quick executions, Web site
Cons: No after-hours trading, Low end of stock price spread

I have been a very happy customer of Suretrade.com for two years now. There have been some growing pains, but Suretrade's service has continually gotten better for the last couple of years. Their latest site design appears to be a winner. It is very...
