I am looking to start investing online. Who has the best online investing service, taking into account cost, ease of use and any other factors that you think might be relevant.
I cannot tell you what the best service is, since that is a ‘personal’ evaluation.
I use TDAmeritrade and have been happy with the service, the cost and the ease of use.
All major brokerage firms provide their clients with on-line services, including trading platforms, latest market & financial news and research.
Customer need to select the site that is best for them. Traders have requirements in a site, while investors have other requirements.
Although most sites are geared to general securities and commodities, however customers may have special needs for the types of products they trade, and the markets in which they trade. For example I use Fidelity for investing. Scottrade for equities trading and ThinkorSwim for option trading
It seems that the most popular firms for on-line investing/trading all of which provide excellent platforms and services are; Scottrade; Chas.Schwab; TDAmeritrade; Fidelity; E-Trade and Thinkorswim.
Since there is no reputable reporting agency that rates/judges online services you will have to visit various sites that seem to fit your requirements
