Best Online Trading Sites? (bonds, Interactive Brokers, Etrade, Sharebuilder)

[Dub D]

I use sharebuilder and it sucks. I tire of their $10 fee. I have looked over TradeKing, $5 is reasonable. Then, I don't really know how but I came across optionshouse, $3 fee and they have a promo for 100 free trades though I've never heard of them.

Which do you use and why?

I use sharebuilder as well. I dont do many trades, the only reason why I use them is because I have cash in ING and when I want to make a trade I want to do it now. I just like having my money getting the measly 1% interest rate while its sitting there. I would love to change but dont know of any other sites that you can collect a decent amount of interest while you have money with them. Also I am to lazy to search

Lightspeed is pennies per trade.
Interactive Brokers is $1.00 for 100 shares.
Wells Fargo gives 100 free trades a year with $25k minimum and PMA account.

I use Tradeking and i have no issues with them.

I use etrade, which is 9 bucks a trade but the money that isnt invested is FDIC backed, most others are not.

I use Interactive Brokers...cheap and allows you to easily trade currencies, bonds, options, etc., and the commissions are very low...and it has a really good execution platform.
