What's the best online stock brokerage these days? I used to use E-Trade* a lot back in the late 90s. Who's the market leader and who has the best online tools today in 2004? I think I'm getting back in the market.

Rick Ameritrade is very good especially if you will be doing day trading type of investing (lots of trades per day)

In Canada, there all pretty much the same and charging pretty much the same fees (more or less $5 difference from one another) IMO. Wasn't E-trade purchased by TD a while ago?

Volantt · 08-17-2004, 10:54 AM

Depends on what you want to do (day trading/swing trading/long term trading).Ever tried to trade in the Forex market?

Rick Latona · 08-17-2004, 10:56 AM

I just want to make a couple of long term buys a month.

johndoebob · 08-17-2004, 11:01 AM

For long term trades ameritrade should be ok for you.

If you're looking for discount brokers you can also check out

http://www.etrade.com/
http://www.fidelity.com/
http://www.schwab.com/

These are the best atm.

If you got big money and want an investment company to do the job without having a clue about stocks yourself go to Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo or Morgan Stanley.

Timely order execution. I just found out that my E Trade account is still open. I just funded it and bought 1000 shares of VCLK in a matter of minutes so all is well.

You must be a frigging multi-millionaire. All you ever do is talk about money.
