April 4th 2012 Market Recap & My Recent Interview

Recently I was interviewed by Zack Miller who runs Tradestreaming.com. The interview, “The Best (And Worst) Online Stockbrokers", was regarding the release of our 2012 Broker Review on StockBrokers.com. Zack asked me some very detailed questions so if you are curious to know how good your broker really is, it is definitely worth a listen.
