Best online investing company?
I'm young and want to invest in stock for the first time, I'm only starting with about $2000, any suggestions for good sites with low fees and no monthly subscriptions?

- I've used Scottrade for a few years, went over from Schwab b/c the fees were much lower. Never had any problems; the research tools aren't great, but I use Yahoo! Finance for that, which is free. Fidelity is fairly cheap as well, I've considered switching because their tools appear to be better.
- ScotTrade - http://www.scottrade.com You can set the account up online, and their commissions are $9.95. There are no inactivity fees, either.
- vamguared has a weath of information with no fees -stocks and bonds and mutual funds
- I use Scottrade personally ($7 Commision, no fees), but more and more online brokerages these days are lowering their commissions, so that is a great sign for all of us. Couple of my friends use E*Trade Financial, which I think the rates are sort of high and I know I've read about Firstrade ($6.95 Commision, no fees I THINK????) and TD Ameritrade gives you a few free trades when you join I believe and the commisions are average at best.... You can also search for online brokerage ratings and you'll get a more complete list of what is available to you. Good luck with your investing, I just recently started in June and it is both fun and exciting (when you get a huge gain...lol). Good luck!
- I would check out http://ibooyah.com before investing.
