Mike,

Direct Broking get my vote for efficiency.  Their acknowledgement is as 
quick as you can reload and subsequent trade almost intant.  ASX orders 
are phoned on to Cameron Sharebrokers immediately.  The email 
notification of announcements, price changes etc is extremely helpful and 
0800 line allows me to use my mobile to check depth without going 
offline.  To top it off, account queries are promptly answered. 

I have recently started using ABN-AMRO as my full service broker.  The 
daily emailed market update is fantastic.  ABN do not have a large retail 
client base but are obviously putting a few features in place that 
previously only their extensive institutional clients enjoyed.   

My own rule is, trade through ABN exclusively where information provided 
by them prompts me to buy/sell.  I have no problem paying a higher 
commission where valuable information is provided.    

No this is not an advertisement, just an opportunity to say something 
positve about a couple of good service providers.  Maybe it is an 
opportune time to poll Sharechat subscribers on both online and service 
brokers.  Your thoughts?

Regards,
Chris
