who is the cheapest and the best online broker these days?

I use Scottrade. They are cheaper than the other major online brokers like etrade or tdameritrade, and also have a good credit rating which I am unsure of with some of these new ones popping up. Even if the new ones are insured it would be a major hassle if your broker went out of business so make sure they are financilly stable. Or if you don't want to go through the work to find this out (I didn't) just pick from the established ones, Scottrade, Etrade, TDAmeritrade ect.

When comparing online brokers, look at the online services and trading tools that they have available. Discover if an online broker provides easy ...

I am a 13 year old kid, but really want to invest in the stock market. My parents will cosign but I want to invest online. As far as I have looked, I have not been able to find an online broker that allows you to do this. If any one knows an online broker that allows this, please answer.

you must be 18 to open an account PERIOD, that is the Law. You can, however, open up an UGMA (unified gift to minors account) with a parent as a Custodian, and then at a designated age, between 18-25, the account becomes yours. Every brokerage firm can and will set up and account in this manner. Good luck!

My friends are all investing in a 20 cent stock that they predict will skyrocket in value within the next year. I promised to join the bandwagon, but don't want to make any mistakes when it comes to choosing an online broker. I understand I will have to call the broker to buy this stock (under $1.00 per share), so good customer service is definitely a plus.

Thanks!

One that has low fees. The customer service angle makes your search a bit narrower. Most online brokers have downgraded service for speed via the net.
Browse the net to make comparisons. I use e*trade
but don't need to talk to anyone usually. Always do your homework on any stock your going to purchace. You can still lose money on cheap stocks. Make the decision about a purchace on your own. Somebody who is recomending a stock might just "have an axe to grind", and want people to inflate a stocks value just to line their own pockets.

I am a college student and i dont want to invest to much money but i really want to get into the stock market game. I heard that a few online brokers had minimum investment accounts of about 500 or so, and i dont want to do that much, what is a flexible reasonable e broker?

I just opened a basic account with ETrade with a balance of $200. Give them a call and they can explain the basic account differences to you. Just be aware that with low account balances, the trade commissions are rather high (I'm paying $9.99 per trade right now). Good luck!
