check this site out....www.zecco.com

by far the best I have found.....free trading, and people get on message boards and tell exactly why they picked a certain stock....real cool.....do a lot of research before you dip your money.....i have made almost $2500 in one day two weeks ago, and lost $1990 on another one on tues......

if you are long term investing, call a broker

if you are recreational, try this website out...

ETrade
You can set your money up in an ETrade checking account for when you want to pull your $$$ out of stocks. I also have my ETrade linked to my regular banking accounts so i can move money around when I want to.

E-trade is nice but the commission per trade adds up. Stay away from the Commision based on a percentage...

Day trading stocks are kinda like the casino, only trade what you can afford to lose.... And look at everthing in $$$$$ amounts instead of percentages. If you can buy something one morning and sell it that afternoon and make 350.00 the way I look at it I just did good. Who cares that it is less than 1% profit. 350.00 is more than a weeks take home on minimum wage.... Heck after taxes and insurance its more than someone making 12.50 and hr. and you just made it in one day typeing on a computer.

Then get ready, because you will more than likely lose. I had E-Trade until I found myself unemployed for a while. By the time I got my money out from those crooks, their 'fees' had nickle and dimed me to death. They charge fees for everything. If you trade, they charge a fee. If you don't trade, then then charge you an 'inactivity fee'. If you find yourself under margin - which can happen even if you buy long according to their accountants - you will have additional fees associated with your margin call. etc. etc.

My STRONG suggestion is that you find a reputable broker, make D@MN sure of the fee structure (this is where I got stung by them changing theirs without telling me.), and keep a REEEEAAAALL close eye on them.

I know you didn't ask for all of this advice, but if I could save one person from being burned by these b@$t@rds, then I feel that my piddling loss was worth it. Besides, the rant made me feel better.

Good luck, and have fun.
