Lawrence,
I guess it would depend on your investing goal(s) or objective(s). If you're interested more in buy and hold, I would recommend Sharebuilder. You can't beat the $4 per trade commission for buying. They get you somewhat on the selling part, I think around $16 for sale of a stock. I use Sharebuilder myself and have found their cheap commission is good for me. If you're interested in buying/selling more frequently I'm sure there are better sites.

Larry what the heck??
We are in the heat of trying to win bets and your worried about trading stocks. I swear you had to have 4 beers today so I will let it go.
This is a good question on a Tuesday afternoon.
Anyway good luck with stocks and look closely tonight at Indy in 1st half.
Happy Holidays

Lawrence,
Nope, no monthly fee from Sharebuilder. It's best to make larger investments at one time to lessen the % commission ($4) charged. I like it and buy shares every few months or so. If you were to do weekly investments I would guess the commission would start to add up. For long-term investing I highly recommend the site.

I think they have a referral bonus too...hint hint.

Just be sure if you are buying there that you buy stocks made for the long-term. Majority of stocks out there are made for trading, that is the basic fact. You should never act like a stock is part of the family like some fools do. Companies with excellent market share, good margins, and growth ahead in industries that don't go through bouts of incessant market share battles are good. Disaster awaits if you go long-term in things like airlines or much of the tech industry. Just helpful advice and the reason I steer clear of things like Sharebuilder. My long-term money just goes into index funds, my short term stuff goes into stocks that I trade.
