The name saids it all.. please help!!

I've used tdameritrade.com scottrade.com There is also etrade and a few others. Just do you research and watch out for hidden fees. As long as you have a checking account you can transfer money in and out of your account. If you do it online you register and then will have to wait. You will have to call your bank and confirm a deposit they will make, usually like $.03. Once you have confirmed the account, you can transfer funds and start trading. You pick the stocks you want to purchase (NASDAQ, S&P, etc). Good Luck!
If your a beginner use Etrade or Fidelity or Optionsxpress But if ur good and don't need your online brokers tools like me (I use other websites to do my TA) then use **ZECCO.com** 4 95 a trade cheapest period!
