Merrill Edge

If you're even a semi-active trader, I would caution you to read the various online reviews and rankings before placing money in a Merrill Edge account. Depending on the size of your account or status at BofA, you can trade for (basically) free. I have high blood pressure. And based on their tendency to have account "issues", I was concerned that they might kill me within the first six months. I took a pass. But YMMV.

I've got an account there. Their research dept is great. However, if you want to buy penny stocks (under $1.00), you have to have at least $25k in the account or they won't let it go through. Dunno why. I had to move some extra money over after I opened it as a play account to be able to buy some pennies. Other than that, I like it. The mobile app works great and you can pull down reports to your smart phone or tablet on the go.

You can also deposit funds to the account at any Merrill Lynch office.
