To get started, you'll
need an online broker. Here are a few we recommend...
Scottrade.com
You've probably seen their
commercials running on CNBC. Scottrade used to be a no-frills
online brokerage that offered $7 per trade; basically you got what
you paid for. However, the company has evolved and now features
considerable services to its clients. It's a great, reputable
service for new investors.
Ameritrade.com
Ameritrade is another great
service because they have low commissions ($10.95). Best of
all, the quoted commission price includes limit orders. If
reputation and ease of use is what you're looking for, consider
Ameritrade.com.
Sharebuilder.com
Sharebuilder is hands-down
our top online broker for new investors with not a whole lot of
money to get started. With their low commissions, no minimums, and
tons of investment options, we seriously think you should give them
some thought for opening an investing account.
BrownCo.com
BrownCo is for the more experienced
investor. Because you're more sophisticated and have a higher
account balance, BrownCo rewards you with great services at low
prices. Their commissions are as low as $5 per trade.
