Best stock trading company for fun?
I have never done stocks and am thinking about just doing it for fun, nothing too big, about $500 for fun. I saw etrade offering 100 free trades, should i go for that? can anyone recommend me for some stock trading companies? I just wanna get a feel of it with these trading systems and just looking for the most inexpensive way to do this. i searched a bit, and scotttrade fee is $7 and zecco is $4.50. Are there any hidden fees?

- sorry...but zecco is kind of a joke...they issue margin calls to non-margin accounts hahahah tradeking.com is the best...$4.95 and totally safe... google them to find out that they are great :) *there's some catch the the 100 free trades at e*trade...i think you have to open an IRA account or something with $25,000...check it out to be sure though
