SureTrade

Pros: Inexepensive, No minimum investment
Cons: Poor user interface

Here's why I chose Suretrade:

- No minimum investment.
- Only $7.95 per order.

I don't have a lot of extra cash so it was a great way for me to get going. In my situation, this has proven to be a good choice and I would...

Pros: Cheap
Cons: Poor Service

I was immediately drawn in buy suretrade's cheap trading costs. For a daytrader that's the kind of price that you need. You can't make any money with trades costing $20 each. The website has a pretty good interface, although I've seen a lot better....

Pros: Cheap, good execution
Cons: No hand-holding

I do all my own research on the web, using the Motley Fool, Bigcharts, Yahoo Finance, Stocksheet and others to decide what I want to buy. Suretrade for me is little more than someone to execute my trades. Even the information that they provide for you...

Pros: price, on-line navigation, on-line help
Cons: doesn't provide IPO buying

I've been with Suretrade for about a year now, and am extremely pleased. I originally chose to go with Suretrade because it had the lowest (true) trading prices on the net. As I read the small print with a few other low cost on-line brokerage firms, I...

Pros: low commissions
Cons: no money market accounts

I have multiple online trading accounts. I opened the account with Suretrade expecting the worst, but hoping for the best. I've have the account almost a year now, and I'd have to say I've been quite satisfied. I'm not sure if it would be the best...

Pros: Price, service
Cons: web site has a lot of information but is hard to get to

Being new at the trading on-line scenario I decided to look at all of my options before I jumped into it. My final analysis came up with using suretrade. Suretrade has the best trading price, there is no minimum or maximum for your account, and...

Pros: Reliable, low commisions
Cons: no great web site design but easy to navigate

I have had a Suretrade account for almost a year and have found that it is reliable in fact there has never been a time when I could not get on to the site unlike some more well known services. The site itself is rather bland but it features trades at...

Pros: Cheap commissions, basic orders encounter few problems
Cons: Full account history not on-line, no access to ipo's unless have more than $100,000 in account

Suretrade had some problems early on, but lately they seem to have pulled it together and make for a cheap alternative to Schwab or Datek if you are not looking for all the extras. For simple market or limit orders, the price is certainly right.

Pros: Low commissions, no-fee IRAs, can trade penny stocks
Cons: Poor online help, slow website

As an online investor with moderate experience, I was originally drawn to Suretrade for its rock-bottom commissions - $7.95 for market buys or sells. I liked the idea of cheap commissions so much I opened 6 accounts (Roth IRAs, regular IRAs and...

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: 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: price
Cons: network downtime

Without the $7.95 & $9.95 (limit orders) I would have missed this great NASDAQ run from 1998. I have made quite a few trades since 1998 and don't have any complaints of suretrades execution.

I typically invest only $500-$1000 at a time so...

Pros: Quick , cheap and easy
Cons: No real person on the phone

I signed up with Suretrade when it first opened to save tons on commissions, I did! I get my free realtime quotes and my account info is readily available. Now they have added interactive communication with a live person. I've used it,it works. I get my...

Pros: Good price, Good executions
Cons: Weak support and slow speed

When you trade online, you have to have 2 things.

1) You must understand investing
2) You must know how to do research

If you have these basic skills, SureTrade is for you.

At SureTrade, the site is a bit slow, but...

Pros: relatively quick response, low cost
Cons: user must have knowledge of market process

SureTrade is best for traders who know what they want. Following the trends of the market is sure only to get you into trouble. The one area of these online brokers, including SureTrade, is the novice trying to figure out the difference between a market...
