btw, which discount brokerage(s) do you guys use in the US? Tradeking seems way cheaper than scottrade, but whats the catch? I may need to open an account soon.

I trade on and off in the Australian Stock Exchange through Commsec. What major rip offs: each trade costs $21.9. I need to cover my long position with a put option on one of my stocks. The option costs $2.12, but commissions+charges comes to $37 each way on buying the option, and then excercising it later. And, Dont even get me started on the paperwork!
