First of all, I am not a big stock market player. I only own some shares of the company for which I work. And my wife and I have some stock through her broker, but he charges quite a bit for a transaction. Anyway, I have an itch to jump on some stock that I have been following lately. It's up $2 in the past couple days, so I need to get the ball rolling. I checked out scottrade and etrade, but am not sure which, if any, would be better. There are a lot of sites out there, but a lot of them sound pretty much the same. Does anyone have any suggestions for trading sites? I am sure there are a few on-line traders on this board. Much appreciated, Thanks!
