Most decent brokers won't bother with you if you don't have 20 grand or so. And, if they will, you'll be paying a shitload to me to make a couple extra bucks here or there. It's a mystery to me why folks in Wallyworld think we brokers know all this info about what's going up or down. If I knew what was gonna make 100% guaranteed by tomorrow each and every day, you'd be damn sure I'd be trading instead of talking on the phone.

As to tips, it really depends how much you're worth. I can't pass inside info, but I do sometimes hear news before it hits the presses and I can and will pass that on to my biggest clients. That's strictly legal.

Anyone else you would recommend aside from TD Waterhouse?
