I'm looking at scottstrade, seems the cheapest. Anything else?
"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Whats the best online stock purchase website?

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Stocks are too risky. Look into Vanguard...low expense-ratio mutual funds.

Hey there Spes,

Sharebuilder is good in that you don't need have to have an account minimum and they don't charge fees if you don't have a minimum. They're good if your justwanting to invest a fixed amount on a periodic basis, and they only charge $4 for that. But if you want to do more active trading they charge $9.95 so it's not that cheap.
which broker is best I guess depends on what you want to do. I don't think it's a good time to invest in stocks. You won't be making money anytime soon.
"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"
You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.
She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.
Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.
Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.
I think they work the same way as buying stocks so which ever's best for stocks should be best for ETFs as well. We just need some people to list the fees and their experience with online brokers.speakeasy said:What's the best place for ETFs?
That reminds me, Sharebuilder doesn't broker for very many mutual funds if any but their select few. Also they charge 4.95 to instantly transfer money out of your personal bank account to buy a real-time trade, so it's $9.95+$4.95=$14.95 for a trade, not $4. You can transfer money free into or out of your account but it takes till the next day.

LOL @ this dipsh#t.TheMoonMonst3r said:Stocks are too risky. Look into Vanguard...low expense-ratio mutual funds.
He did not ask for your expert stock advice, he asked about brokers. I am a professional trader (futures), but I do use scottrade for long term investments. You can purchase mutual funds there if you want (like vanguard).
Oh, and listen, risk is all relative. Mutual funds suitability is relative to each person. If you enjoy underperforming the indexes year after year, choose mutual funds, LOL.
