Does anyone have any information regarding which online brokerage provides the best services w/ the lowest fee's? jamesave 3-7-2005, 1:37 PM I use scottrade, because they're the cheapest. GUI wise, I like amertirade. Scottrade $7, ameritrade, $10. I think there is also brown. but those are the two. steveh 3-7-2005, 3:40 PM I second Scottrade... Been using them for four years and have never once had a problem... Ameritrade was my second choice, used them for a while but moved away from them to simplify my life (keep everything at one brokerage)... However, don't use a discount brokerage if you're gonna need advice/assistance with choosing what to do... stingygrrl 3-10-2005, 4:02 PM I like BrownCo. for a little day trading. (My own meaning of that-- not 200 trades/day like the real meaning) Flat $5 -lightning fast executions. You can get confirmations/statements in the mail, which I like so I don't waste ink printing them. You can download also to quicken and turbo tax. I had ameritrade once for a while but found their site to be clunky to navigate and never liked it; also I think they are paperless. I've been with Brown almost 7 years and never had 1 problem. They also offer some java-based quotes but I don't like their interface for that. You can reach a broker within minutes if you want, but that trade is $15. Very responsive customer service the couple times I called. Mostly it's on auto-pilot on their side.. they haven't made mistakes so far. :D jamesave 3-16-2005, 3:38 PM There is an article in Kiplinger's October 2004 regarding the best online broker. (it's available online, but you have to paid for old article) However, I found this on google: http://www.consumersearch.com/www/personal_finance/online_brokers/ Found it on google the kiplinger's article; http://www.kiplinger.com/features/archives/2004/10/brokers.html |
