I would suggest Scottrade. UNLIKE etrade and other brokers you dont need to trade a minimum of stocks per quarter to avoid any fees! So you can buy low, forget about them, and sell high later whenever your ready as their aren't any maintenance fees. Other sites also require a large deposit that has to be wired from your bank account.
With Scottrade there are many local branches that you can sit down with a person open an account and drop off a check (min $500) making it alot safer and cheaper if your new to the market. And if their are any problems their just a 10min drive away.
And forget about e-trades $10+ per trade. At Scott's $7 bucks a trade is solid.
Don't wanna pay $7 use this code when opening account...
