I don't have one, but I was reading some reviews of online brokerage accounts awhile back (when I was considering opening one.) Schwab got rave reviews out of the 20 or so this article reviewed and came in 2nd I believe.

I have a Roth IRA and a Brokerage Account. My Dad has several more accounts.

Their web interface is great. Very powerful and easy to use. I would recommend them for all your investment and or saving needs.

I use them. They are great as far as customer service and questions go. Extremely friendly and very sharp. They are just super expensive compared to other stuff out there. You get what you pay for though. If you don't mind the loads and commission, by all means use them.

My first choice would be Goldman Sachs, but you gotta be pretty high up to get an account :(
