Thread: Can any reccommend a good online brokerage?

I have researching. For an online web broker. Scottstrade comes up as one of the best. Does anyone have a preferred broker site?

I would suggest speaking to a licensed financial advisor in person. They can help you assess your risk tolerance, timeline, and goals. If after consulting with an advisor, you still feel the need to engage in online gambling, I suggest poker instead.

Yea, i do the licensed broker too... This is more for me to do as a personal thing.

Is not gambling,been with etrade for years,never a problem,all there brokers have to be licensed by law.

Wintchase,

Have you considered Ameriprise?

You can have an online personal account there as well as other accounts managed by a licensed financial advisor that you can meet with on a regular basis.

Just an idea.

I saw them, but aren't they prices steep? Are they worth the extra cost?

Thanks, I will check them out. Although I didn't see them on the top best broker list? I did see etrade though.... The only con on Etrade was the prices of trades.

We no longer do alot of trades,they hold some stock for us,checking accts,some IRA stuff,we get a monthly statement is all.cannot comment on costs but they are all within the same ballpark I think.

I've been using TD Ameritrade for a couple of year. I've had no problems, but I'm far from an expert.

TD Ameritrade is a good one. etrade is also good for certain things.
If you plan to trade in OTC, pink. Your best bet would be to us etrade. They seem to have less restrictions related to the clearing house and OTC/pink sheets.

As with any stock, it's a gamble. Only risk what you're willing to loose
