I invest on Sharebuilder, mostly for fun. I buy cheapie stocks (not penny stocks, those for the most part are unavailable for trading) that I think are just down but not out. I got lucky a couple weeks ago and made a few hundred bucks on one stock, and then reinvested those proceeds in a couple of banks. They took off like a rocket yesterday, and my $200 investment tripled in one day. I took Ozzie's advice and sold enough to equal my initial deposit, now whatever those 2 stocks do are free money. (They are down today, but after they skyrocketed yesterday, this is not a surprise..they are
EUBK and
MHBI)
I don't know much about the other online trading outfits..I've been with Sharebuilder almost 10 years now. Trades are pretty cheap, $9 for real time, $4 if you do them on an investing plan.

I use Sharebuilder as well, having switched over from another program last year. Sharebuilder is where I stash mad money, and I buy cheap stocks as well. So far I've had good luck....
Make sure, if you go that route, you get info from CB&B, the first person to mention it to you, and she'll get a bonus from Sharebuilder, free trades or extra $$ or something.

Scottrade. I've been using them for all our accounts for about 4 to 5 years. Love the performance and the available service. $7 trades, including penny stock trades (plus~1% of the value of the trade, which is MUCH less than any other brokerage service for this type of trade. I'll be happy to provide a more specific example if anyone wants). Trades are implemented almost instantaneously, sometimes at better than the limit price placed if it's that type of trade. And when you sign up, they give you a local office, where they have real, knowledgeable brokers to help you (mostly with paperwork) if needed. They don't give advice. Scottrade recently has added research online (obviously to compete with the others that are advertising research).
I'd love to send you a referral - we'd both get three free trades as an incentive.

Uh, actually, I was calling CB&B a girl. CB&B, are you a girl? If not, I apologize.
CB&B will get the bonus, and I think bjornolf will get a bonus as well as a new signup.

Yes, I know, and CB&B is NOT a girl. He's a woman. ;) Kidding, kidding of course, Chris.

I think it must be my effeminate typing. Here and over yonder I get mistaken for a woman all the time.

Picked a hell of a day to ask about investing. Largest one day drop since early February. Luckily yesterday was the opposite for me, and my buys from last week are still on top of where they were when I got in on them.
