The problem with office hours (not everything can be done over the
phone) manifests when one must deliver certificates
to the broker ...  Especially if one gets up late and has a boss
who expects a full days work ...

As per rates, I am most interested in playing (yes, really playing)
with penny stocks.  The rates for these vary tremendously.  If someone
knows of a cheap broker for penny stocks, I would love to hear.
