Online Stock Trading - Who Do You Use and Why?
 

I've been buying and selling my stocks the old fashioned way through my broker of 10 years. Well, he is retiring and I don't want another person, I want to open an online account with an online trading company.

Who is good? Why? Can anyone please share their input here.

keep it in person so you can beat the motherfucker up if he gives you bad advice

:1orglaugh ... my last guy did have some tips that didn't pay off but over the past 10 years, he's made me some good money.

Choicetrade.com is who I'm using. $5.00 trades no matter what.. Have pretty damn good service too.. Can always get someone on the phone if you have any issues.

I use scottrade.com

Same here my only problem with them is they take FOREVER to update name changes in the system :(

Thanks ... I've heard a lot about Scott Trade. What are their rates?

$7 flat fee per trade... $7 to buy.. $7 to sell.

Unless you buy shares valued under $1 then they take an additional 2.5% of the total value i think, dont really play the pennies much so dont know if that is 100% or not.

Yea if you are going to buy penny stocks don't use scott trade..

See, I do play penny stocks so who would you recommend for something like that?

http://www.interactivebrokers.com/
their prices are on the front page of their site.

I'm also in the process of looking for a broker (mostly to use with pennystocks), needs to accept European countrys.

choicetrade.com is who I use.

I was looking at their site. They seem to charge on the basis of how many shares you buy. Do they have a charge for penny stocks?

etrade seems the way to go
