ex24 is out of business?

I like Ex24 because I don’t know anything about investing and I still make money and the ATS is really easy to use. I quit getting delivery of the Wall Street Jounal at home, and ever since I have done well in the stock market. Not to mention I have less anxiety about the future. My tip of the day is, “throw away your magnifying mirror and the stock page.” Those mirrors are torture on wrinkles.

ex24 now offers trading through both their internal odd-lots (ATS) system for a bunch of popular stocks as well as through the national markets for any listed stock. Their commissions are low (more on that later). One thing I like about the ATS system is that with the immediate settlement, you can make another trade quickly.

The ATS system at ex24 allows for pretty cheap trading ($2 per trade ), as long as you’re content to trade 99 shares or fewer at a time. Sogo can be cheaper, but only if you’re trading frequently or usually in larger lots.

Another neat thing about ex24 is that if you ever want to transfer shares to another broker, there’s no fee.

Lastly, ex24 offers a lot of reporting features for free. For example, you can get a report of realized gains at any time on the web site. Some other brokers (e.g., Ameritrade) want a fee for gains reports.

ex24 doesn’t seem to be as fundamentally strong as SogoInvest. The background in technology and computers is nice, but Sogo has a background in BROKERAGING!

It’s like there are so many different options on the field, it really comes down to who can handle your money best.

My money is still with Sogo. E. Hencle
