I use Charles Schwab, they have a number of offices if I want to talk with someone in person. The help desks have been good, and trades are only $12.95. I think they have good research on the website as well. Been happy with them for more than 10 years.

I use Fidelity. I have never had any major issues with them and all the minor ones were promptly and professionally resolved when I brought it to their attention. I also know many people who use Schwab and they all seem happy. |

I've used E-Trade and TD Ameritrade, my favorite hands down is TD Ameritrade. Great customer service, good and free trading tools.

Which is the best if you are working with only $1000? These $13 trades are getting old.
I think that $7 scotttrade thing is if you have bigger money invested?

You should not be investing in stock if you only have $1,000.
All of your profit will be eaten by your commission.
Wait until you have 2k. |
