Answer 5

You have found one of the "advantages" of dealing with a cheap broker on-line, you always get what you pay for

All major brokerage firms provide their clients with on-line services, including trading platforms, latest market & financial news and research.

Customer need to select the site that is best for them.  Traders have requirements in a site, while investors have other requirements.  

Although most sites are geared to general securities and commodities, however customers may have special needs for the types of products they trade, and the markets in which they trade.

It seems that the most popular firms for on-line investing all of which provide excellent platforms and services are; Scottrade; Chas.Schwab; TDAmeritrade; Fidelity; E-Trade and Thinkorswim.

Answer 7

I wouldn't get an on-line broker if I were you.  You need to talk face to face so that you know who to go after if they rip you off.
