Macquarie Bank Stock Broking

SmallStocks — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 04:08:18 +0000

Let me put it this way – trying to even find the Fee’s, Charges and Interest Rates on Macquarie’s website is impossible. Everything is “Come and Meet our Adviser”. Ever heard of open and transparent Macquarie? Generally, they only typically deal with serious players, they are going to charge you a bucket load of money to trade with them and they really aren’t for traders who don’t want a full brokerage service. PS – free piece of advice Macquarie, try adding the words “Fee’s, Rates & Charges” to your Financial Services Guide. ASIC will look favorably on you.

HSBC Stock Broking

SmallStocks — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 03:53:40 +0000

For the size of HSBC Worldwide, you would think they would have an Australian Broker Arm. Unfortunately, it’s not the case and they run their trading through ETrade – obviously the outsourcing cost is optimised in this situation
