B/c you'd rather be told even though we don't know your needs/requirements/funding than do the research yourself?

The link is actually very useful.

I use Fidelity here because I already had an account with them through work due to my work stock options and employee stock purchase plan...

No, the link is not useful. Looks like the page compares 3 sites? Bah.

Linking to the home page instead of a junk article would have provided more information.

So you're being ungrateful because you're lazy? Right on my friend.

If your going to post a link, at the very least let the link contain some kind of useful information.

The homepage of that link is useful, the linked article is junk.

Looking at Optionshouse, but I do not like having to use $1,000 to start.

Scottrade looks more attrative due to the $500 opening limit.

Tradeking has a $0 minimum to open account.

And you couldn't click over to that. Lazy and ignorant is a horrible way to go thru life.

Looking at tradeking, but not sure of their fees for stocks less then $1.

Stocks and ETFs: $4.95 (for stocks/etfs priced over $1)

Scottrade seems to be the same thing.

$7 per trade commission on stocks and ETFs priced over $1.

Vanguard. Go with mutual funds instead of stocks.

 

[Arachnotronic]

I use Ameritrade.

Ew. No. That's like buying a pre-built computer -- no control/customization of where your money goes.

you are on the right track. for what you are doing, look for the cheapest fees that you can qualify. tradeking mice print says, "TradeKing adds $0.01 per share on the entire order for stocks priced less than $1.00."

 

[Texashiker]

Do fees usually go up or down with stocks that cost less then $1?

Thank you.

So for 100 shares, it would be $1 added to the fee?

Another longtime user of Scottrade. But I don't know if they handle penny stocks.

It would be quicker, cheaper and more efficient to just burn your money than to "invest" in penny stocks-and your rate of return at least as good.

Seriously do some reading up on penny stocks before plunging off that cliff.

Depends on what you're trading, how often you're trading, how much $$ you're using, and why you're trading.

An IRA with fidelity allows free trades on many index etfs but has penalties if you're trading very often

Low commissions are nice, but some sites lack advanced orders

I like Tradeking, Zecco, OptionsXpress, Just2Trade, and Lightspeed webtrader

The stock I am looking at is in a 10 - 15 year low. Hoping the company will rebound in 2013 when they release their a new product.

Besides that one stock, I am looking at more stable stocks like 3m, exxon, ford,,, and so on.

Sometimes you catch a diamond in the rough. My uncle bought several thousand shares of LNG when it was 50 and 75 cents. When the stock hit $40 a share he had right at $100,000. He did not cash out, the stock crashed, now its back up at $15 a share.

~~ EDIT~~

Dont know if this link is going to show the whole history

My uncle invested several thousand dollars in LNG during 2002 - 2004. If think he bought around 2,000 - 3,000 shares at 50 - 75 cents a share.

From 2005 - 2008 the stock price was $30 - $40 a share.

Too bad my uncle did not cash out before the price crashed.

Love the irony of TH using a positive analogy about diamonds...

 

[paperfist]

I use Scottrade for my Roth IRA.

Does it allow you to put that in higher risk markets or are you stuck with standard Roth returns?

I've had lng on my radar lately. Not a bad short ~$15 at this point imo, but that's only based on it's movement the last few months and especially last few days.

From what I understand, LNG stock prices took a hit when the company started building the refineries. There are supposed to be a series of storage units / refineries built along the gulf coast.

I think one of the LNG units is being constructed just south of Port Arthur Texas. Its a pretty big complex that has been in the works for a couple of years.

Hopefully, when the construction projects are finished, and the company starts making money, the stock will go back up.

I should have taken my uncles advice almost a decade ago and bought LNG stock.

That's way too much business for me, I just look at price/time. Good luck with your decisions tho.

TDAmeritrade. Their mobile platform is superior to Etrade IMO.
