What's the best trading company to use to get in the market with for the first time?

[beenlosing4ever]

Finally looking to get into the markets, any recommendations for which companies to use? What perks/rewards do some offer that others don't? Thanks.

They used to be zero commission. They now started charging $4.50 per trade. I closed my zecco account due to the "bait and switch" and strictly use schwab.com now. So much easier to move cash in and out of Schwab. Zecco took almost a week whereas Schwab is one business day.

It's still free if you have $2,500 in the account. And if you don't, you should be in the game anyway.

Only 10 trades are free.

Go to a local broker and let them handle it.

10 per month. How many trades are you making? How many do you think this guy is going to make just getting into the game? Even after that it is $4.50 per trade, half the commission you'd get anywhere else. Christ...hno:

How long have you been using them? I'm seriously considering using them, but haven't heard too much about them.

I've never used them. They are the cheapest I've heard of so I mentioned them.

I used them for over a year, no problems.
