The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

These considerations led me to prefer Interactive Brokers as my broker

Having an account at IB myself I think for a starting investor (Manlobbi´s target group) it would be the worst choice, as dealing with their user-unfriendly system might lead (not only) a newbie to despair.


companies who seem to be looking out for their customers’ best interests ... WISE comes to mind for foreign exchange

Great company indeed, and regarding ease of use the opposite of IB.
