Hey guys I'm looking for a new site to buy/sell stocks on. Right now I use sharebuilder.com. I like them because I only have $500 invested right now and they have no minimum balance but charge $10 a trade. I am looking to invest another $1000. Looking for a site with cheaper trade rates and either no minimum balance or something around $1000. Any options? What sites do you guys use?
I've used Zecco in the past. They're a little under $5 a trade. No monthly or annual fees, and you can start with $500.
Sharebuilder is fine, especially if you have it tied to an ING account. Transfers are done now in real time. As #1 fan said, Zecco is also good. In any case, if you dabble in these internet trading sites, try not to get too fancy unless you really know what you're doing. I only do online sites with a little "play money" but leave my serious stuff to my financial adviser.
