I can add that I too use OptionsXpress and find them excellent.

I use them to buy US shares for my long tern dividend growth portfolio and run a smaller options portfolio to compliment my income (sell puts, sell covered calls). I also buy a few LEAP options for growth shares that pay no dividends. More capital efficient that way.
