Perhaps look at http://www.share.com/. They have all their pricing info on their website and you can make an on-line application in about 10 minutes. Try their practice account to see if you like it. https://www.share.com/webp/practice_acco...

http://www.consumersearch.com/www/intern... and also do a search on the internet for online discount brokers.

Remember when you're buying and selling shares, that there is a broker fee, so take that cost into account when calculating your returns.  Do your research on a company before investing in the stock.

Also, no one should invest in the stock market until they have a 6 month emergency cash fund in a high interest savings account, all credit cards paid off as well as loans for depreciating assets like cars, boats, tvs, etc.  Probably the best you can do in today's stock market is 4-6% return overall whereas if you paid off a credit card charging 20% interest, you'd get an instant return on your money of 20%.  Think about that.
