Last September, we launched new content with Interactive Data. In December, we became the first brokerage to integrate with The Investor Network. In spring, we launched Gainskeeper.
All these new tools and services had a silver menu bar and very distinctive design elements that really doesn’t blend in very well with the current Firstrade. Because quite frankly, they were not designed with the current Firstrade in mind. What you see is in fact the look & feel of the new Firstrade.com
Stay tuned for more info, and possibly a few screenshots in the coming weeks.

Fear in the market pounded the stocks, and for the price of a Latte at Starbucks, you could pick and choose one share of AIG, Citi, Bank of America, Ford, GM, ING, etc.
