1. Try Charles Schwab. They seem pretty good with their online trades and are a reputable company.
2. E-trade is awesome.
3. Sharebuilder.com is the most "beginner friendly" one that I know of.
4. all you listed are ok -- but insure you read and understand all of the find print in the terms and agreements -- good luck!!!
5. All them ones you listed are reputable. The one thing I like about what you are asking is about INACTIVITY fees. That means you want to sink your money in long term, and that is the RIGHT thing to do... Here is how to avoid those inactivity fees. Its called " dollar cost averaging"... Instead of funding the account in an ongoing basis with 1 lump sum ( initial investment is OK for lump-sum), put smaller sums in each month to get where you want to be for the year. You'll actually find that with the fluctuations in the stock market your money will actually go farther if you do it that way. You end up avoiding the fees... AND you get more bang for your buck.....its a no-brainer!!.. See this lady's website for more info on dollar cost averaging, or watch her show on CNBC.. It really is a wealth of FREE knowledge,...
