Online Stock Trading, Investing, Broker

I've used TDAMeritrade for probably 10 years and never had a problem. Others with experience in other services would probably say the same. I think they are all good, viable options.

TDAmeritrade does have some free EFTs and mutual funds and basically a regular rate for trades otherwise. I really like the look and the phone app is really easy to use.

Merriledge is the best bargain anywhere. Up to 100 free trades per month if your balance is over $100K and this includes linking a Bank of America checking/savings account.

Platform is perfectly good. I have Fidelity for my work 401K and there's really no difference other than look and feel.

Free beats Fidelity's $4.95 fee.
