What’s the best online stock trading site? In terms of costs, speed, customer service, efficiency, etc.?
As in cheap or low cost per trade, low commission.
Fast, not taking too long to actually perform the transaction, if possible honoring prices they themselves gave.
Easy, not having to put a lot of info on each trade, if possible single click, and good friendly customer service
Offering the option to have cash dividends sent to your home instead of being reinvested.
I might also want the option to have the ‘paper’ representation given for stocks be sent to my house.
Also preferably no membership fee or annual fee if possible.
You will hear everyone post what they currently use. I have been a member of most of them and I change brokers when a cheaper one comes along.
My requirements are that I am looking for cheap and that it can get the job done. I don’t want to pay for fancy charts or other unimportant things like that.
So I am with Zecco.com. There is no annual fee and a trade is $4.50. If you have the value of $2500 or more in your account (including cash of course) then you get 10 free trades a month. Can’t beat that right now

Zecco.com, as mentioned before, is a pretty good site and I think you get good value for your trades.
Personally, I am using Fidelity.com. I find it is simple to make investments and to keep an eye on my portfolio. If you are looking to have a large portfolio, I recommend Fidelity.com because it has a lot of extra features to help you. It is a little expensive (commission, etc.); but as a novice investor, its been very helpful for me.
