Stock Markets Exposed

stock trading websites?

I was just wondering what stock trading websites people are using and which ones offer low trading fees.

1. Sharebuilder accounts can be started with very little money, most any amount....unlike some of the other investment sites where they require you to have minimums...which are well above most peoples maximums!
2. For virtual Stock Trading a good website is Virtual stock exchange or www.virtualstockexchange.com. or if you want to use real money go to dowjones.com. Vote for me
3. Sharebuilder is the cheapest to start trading.
4. Go to www.zecco.com You get 40 free trades, per month, if you initially fund your account with $2500 or more. And I believe stock trades are only $3.50 otherwise. You can't beat this. Free trading lives!
5. For online trading, Scottrade is the best. For investing ideas, http://www.Top10Traders.com is a good site. The first information to get when investing is find out what the best traders are buying and selling. This is the idea behind this site. The site is free. It lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can also read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. Here are this month's best traders: http://www.top10traders.com/Top10Standings.aspx Hope this helps

TDAmeritrade: $9.99 (market/limit-unlimited shares); Min Account-$2500 Scottrade: $7 (market/limit-unlimited shares); Min Account-$500 Sharebuilder: $4 (not real-time trading, it’s an automated weekly investment)/$15.95 (limit); Min Account-$0 E*Trade: $12.99 (market/limit – if greater than $50K in assets or 30+ trades/qtr, then price could be as low as $6.99); Min Account-$1000 Schwab: $12.95 (market/limit – if greater than $1M in assets or 120+ traders/yr, then $9.95); Min Account-$2500 Fidelity: $19.95 (market/limit – if great than 120+ trades/yr and $25K+ in assets or $1M in assets, then $8.00); Min Account-$2500 InteractiveBrokers: $.005/share (market/limit; minimum of $1/trade; minimum $10/mo); Min Account-$5000 MBTrading: $.01/share (market/limit; minimum $1/trade); Min Account-$1000 I’ve used the last two brokers and they’ve been pretty solid (used IB when I was in undergrad and currently use MBTrading). These brokers are for the more active trader and offer both online trading as well as desktop trading. With the desktop trading software, you have access to their API so if you wanted to develop and deploy your own program-driven trading strategy, you could.
