Pros: Cheap Cons: Poor execution on prices and real time quotes
SURETRADE has one standout feature, the price. At only $7.95 a trade it is a good choice for the individual who is dabbling with a small amount of cash, less then say $2000. I have never had a problem really getting onto their website and their...

Pros: Cheap price, decent resources Cons: Limited IPOs, Stock prices
I've been using Suretrade for about one year now. I initially joined because the fees were low - $7.95 per trade. The cost remains the same today. It bothers me a bit that whenever I want to buy a stock, I always seem to end up paying at least 1/8...

Pros: Inexpensive trades, makes you more willing to take chance on a stock Cons: Poor end of month statement layout
Of the online brokerages offering trades for less than $10.00, they are all about the same, in my opinion. I chose SureTrade because of a high recommendation from a friend of mine. It is slow sometimes, but overall, its a great service and I am getting...

Pros: Low commissions Cons: Poor service, poor website, weak research
Suretrade was my first foray into Internet stock trading, but I quickly moved elsewhere. The site is completely adequate, but there's little to be overjoyed about. The one single redeeming factor is the ultra-low price for trades - at about eight bucks...

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: Low trading costs, improved web site and access Cons: Had slow or impossible access times in past
I've been using SureTrade for about 2 years now and have seen it go from decent to bad to decent again.
The reason I signed up was the $7.95 per trade price. I had an account with Lombard (now Discover Brokerage) and was satisfied with their...

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: Price is Right Cons: Slow, incomplete, poor webbing
I have two trade accounts. One being Suretrade and the other is e-trade. From my experience, e-trade is used primarily for research and quotes because of their superior speed. After researching and finding a stock to buy, I'll go to the much slower...

Pros: Lowest trades, but even that is a price for nothing Cons: Slow executions, lost connections, connection failures, and poor trading ability.
Starting our online trading ventures over a year ago, Suretrade was the company we chose for it's low cost execution fees. It was low cost for a reason...
Suretrade did not fair well when it came to loading the site. Our family likes to trade...

Pros: No minimum deposit, Costumer Service Cons: Slow, Poor research tools.
Suretrade.com was my first venture into the world of online brokerages, and was nothing what I expected. The sole reason for choosing Suretrade was the "No Minimum" deposit, which is nice for a beginner or someone with a modest income like...

Pros: Cheap market orders Cons: High limit and penny trades
Suretrade is cheap for NYSE and NASDAC orders on shares over $1.00. Want to make a limit order? It will cost you. $12.95, instead of the heavily advertised $7.95 price. Trade penny stocks? It will cost you $12.95 as well. The research is spartan,...

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: Quick trades, low cost Cons: Registration confusing
I have been a Suretrade user for well over a year, and they have proven to be very quick and reliable. I chose Suretrade initially because they had no minimum startup, and the fees are very reasonable, $7.95 for trades, $12.95 for trades of small cap...

Pros: Anyone can play Cons: No, it isn't state of the art
Others have posted their web woes. I am mixed in my opinion. So far, nothing on the web site has prevented me from executing a desired transaction. I have had trouble logging on with the new interface-- if I start from the home page, the java scripts in...

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...
