Suggest an online-brokerage
Hello Everyone. Glad I found this site. I've recently become a big fan of Mad Money and plan to take that 20% of my investment portfolio and try to make some mad money!!
So I was wondering if someone could recommend an online account (and I'll use a referal code if it gets you a bonus).
Probably will start the account with <$3k and probably won't make more than 2-3 trades/month. TD Ameritrade looks like $9.99/trade but they don't link to any IPO's. E-trade looks like $12.99/trade for my level, and it appears I might be able to get in on some IPO's if they are linked to the underwriters.
Scottrade is $7 a trade, but they charge extra for mutual funds
The one I use, firstrade, is $6.95 a trade with free mutual funds. Check them out...
www.firstrade.comI like Tradeking. They recently added some new technology which allows for greater technical analysis which is really nice. Also the trades are only $4.95 which is very cheap. Ranked #1 of online traders by SmartMoney. Not bad. Hope this helps.

I use Scottrade and am satisfied. $7 trades.
One consideration for me was Scottrade has a local office I can visit or call if I have a problem.
