Based in Morris County, New Jersey, The Daily Record reviews the best brokerage firms around the brokerage world. It quotes Smart Money Magazine’s latest survey which placed Fidelity as “Premium Broker”, TradeKing as “Best Discount Broker”, and Merrill Lynch as “Best Full-Service Broker”.

Yet, the Daily Record newsroom, headed by Warren Boroson, responded that the survey of these three best brokerage firms may not be sufficient enough for brokerage trackers since it is not suitable for day-traders or those who buy only mutual funds.

Accordingly, Smart Money’s survey and rankings are based only on buy-and-hold customers who are into stocks, bonds and mutual funds, those with a $50,000 account, and those who want to write covered calls.

Nevertheless, the ranking of the best brokerage firms by Smart Money has still been based according to set quantifiable and qualitative criteria. To determine the best brokerage firms, Smart Money sent their reliable field reporters to open brokerage accounts in 14 potential best brokerage firms.

The reporters bought and sold different kinds of securities, questioned the firms’ customer service through phone and e-mail, checked their account statements and tax forms, and reviewed scrutiny on the web sites, as among some of the survey’s conducted measures.

Who says only real estate have brokerage? Planes may not be as hot as real estates are but there definitely is such a thing as aircraft brokerage. You might not have thought this to be existent, unless of course, you’re into airplanes yourself.

How often do we hear of people looking around for a good airplane bargain, or those that ask us if we want to buy one? And how many times in a week do we see advertisements in the paper about such sale? Who bothers to count?

That is probably one of the reasons why anybody can sell an airplane. There are no special trainings available and no required licenses to secure in order for a person to sell an airplane.

Why, even your seven-year old kid can sell your airplane if you’re too busy to do it yourself! The question is, would anyone want to buy it from him?

Aircraft brokerage, unlike the real estate business, is not regulated. This means that you have be very careful because even if there are a lot of really good brokers around, you might just end up doing business with those who are not.

Who would ever think that, like online shopping, buying and selling stocks over the web can be possible? And if you have been used to buying your shoes with a few clicks of the mouse, you will find out that investing in the stock market can be as easy.

The growing online brokerage industry has become the most fashionable way to purchase and sell stocks. This fueled the actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to allocate more of its time and resources in scrutinizing the investment products that the online brokerage industry provides.

The SEC has made some mandatory requirements to the online brokerage industry regarding the contents of the websites, the prices of the products, the information that they disseminate to their clients, and the security of the accounts of the clients.

Even with these, SEC has not fully been able to impose regulations that will allow clients to have access to their accounts anytime, and that the account statements generated online would be the accurate representation of the clients’ assets.

These are the reasons why some members of the online brokerage industry have been subjects of legal actions or are the main respondents of complaints filed with the SEC.
