If you've never done it before? I have a few grand I could stand to risk at the moment and it seems like now, or soon, is going to be a good time to jump in. | ||

I have an account with TD Ameritrade. I've had this for probably 15 years and they have always been fair. I get my advice from the Motley Fool. I believe trades are free now with TDA and they will link to your bank account to transfer money back and forth.

Both Schwab and Fidelity are good choices. No fees, no minimum balance and no trading commissions. Both can be linked to your bank account. Fidelity lets you lock your account against withdrawals. Schwab has several rating services for each stock, although the Schwab rating itself doesn't have a clear and concise explanation. ---------------------------------------------------- Dances with Crabgrass | |||

I also am with TD Ameritrade, since they bought out Scottrade. I have no complaints. I believe that they just got bought out by someone else, but I can't remember who. | |||

Vanguard also. Open an account and begin long term methodical investing for the future. I would skip Robinhood. ------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

I work with a financial planner my family has used for several years. My mother and father used him and when I started managing their finances, I started working with him. Over the years, I moved all my accounts over, then my sister and then brother did. My parents are gone now but Hank is still doing a great job with our assets. | |||

Open an account at a broker. Pick one you like. add money and trade. I like fidelity, but it matters not. Just don't pick one with ongoing fees or advise. “So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.” | |||

I've been with TD Ameritrade since they were TD Waterhouse and they tore up the full service brokerage $$$ playhouse with their $39 telephone trades back in mid 1990s. TDA is a fine brokerage with a wealth of info on their site. Also commission free basic buy/sell trading. ________________________ God spelled backwards is dog | |||

i do not believe you can buy individual stocks using Vanguard. "Practice like you want to play in the game" | |||

^I would have said the same thing, but apparently you can now buy individual stocks at Vanguard (originally a mutual fund company). | |||

Yea, if you want to trade on heavy volume days, need not apply. | |||

yes you can -- they have brokerage account services available https://investor.vanguard.com/...ting/online-trading/ but you need to set the account up as a brokerage account not a simple mutual fund account plus they recently went to $0 commission on stock transactions ------------------------------- Proverbs 27:17 - As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. | |||

Thanks for the answers, but some of you guys might as well be speaking a foreign language. I'll need to do some more research I think. | |||

Youinvest by JPMorgan Chase is what I use. Basic trades are free, the platform is simple to use and if you have other accounts with them you can move money between accounts seamlessly. Like you, I'm not a day trader or anything but I like to dabble in it when I see opportunities. This is a simple way to do it. --------------------------------------- Life Member NRA “If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

I've been buying and selling stocks and bonds for 30 years now for my 401K all thru Fidelity. I'm just an average guy with an interest in the market. You don't need a broker. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||

Yes you can, as I have a brokerage account with Vanguard. _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

You can walk into a Schwab office with your checkbook and start an account. Then sign up for one line trading on your computer at home. They have a bunch of educational videos to answer any specific questions. ---------------------------------------------------- Dances with Crabgrass | |||
