I've noticed that this exchange always trades lower than others. Why is this? Is it an insecure or high risk exchange?

Not really, it works fine. But dont be fooled by the numbers. btc-e, like most smaller exchanges has a large spread and little market depth. When looking now the buy price at btc-e is 3.1 compared to 3.18 at MtGox. But that 3.1 is only for 0.2 BTC. Feel to play arbitrage if you like.

I've wondered about arbitrage here as well, anyone familiar with how hard it is to get USD into btc-e, and what level of trust you give them?

Why use a small exchange, if it is not for the local argument, it is easier or you have more trust in them?

Because each transfer of dollars from Mt.Gox to BTC-e eats certain percentage. |

you can trust them, did a lot of trading there already, not very cheap if you want to take the money out (3% to wmz, and 2% to lr), also there is a 0.2% trading fee.

BTC-E is great because you can trade other crypto coins besides BTC!

Yes, 0.2% fee is hard to beat. Plus, I think their UI is easier to work with than MTGOX.  |
