Stock Markets Exposed
What is the best web site for trading stocks online?
I am a beginner and don't want to risk a lot of money. Also, don't want to pay high commission fees. Is there something that I can use as a start up and learning tool, but at the same time with real potentials to grow? Thank you for your input.

- Ameritrade
- Im not an expert on this but I recently been looking to do the same so I have done some research. Depends also on what type of investor you want to be. Each of the major ones have their ups and down. If you going to be a small investor say 2 or 3 different stocks you can try sharebuilder.( not the best if you are doing heavy trading). I have been looking at Firstrade they seem to be the best overall.
- SCOTTRADE They have the LOWEST fees. They only charge $7.00 per stock trade over $1 and there is not a minimum number of trades you must perform to get this price. There may be cheaper alternatives out there, but you might have to place over 1000 trades a year to get a lower prices. They also have all the informational tools you are looking for.
- The best WWW.icicidirect.com,it is easy and simple.Once you registered,then you will be guided step by step.It also teach beginners through its customer session.Login and find yourself.best of luck.
- I like the Charles Schwab site. www.schwab.com It is easy and also user friendly.
- Fidelity Investments or Scottrade.
- Sweetie, Use FolioFN. I have been with them since Feb. 2006 and I am so pleased. You can open a free "watch account" to trial run your stock picks and learn to use the tools available. When you're ready add a real account, add some cash, and buy your picks or buy different picks. FolioFN is clearly, to me, the most consumer oriented online service. It's perfect for beginners and long-term investors. Send me a private message if you want more info. Best wishes, pup
- Sharebuilder.com offers an automatic program that invests a specific amount of money (you determine that amount) and it is invested on a given Tuesday of the month(you also determine the Tuesday) and the ivestements can grow. No inactivity fees or any BS like that. TradeKing.com offers $4.95 trades (damn low if you ask me) and they have fast execution
