Hey guys, I was wondering which site you recommend for a beginner to use?
Here's what I am looking for in a broker
- Easy to use
- Plenty of learning materials, I want to learn as much as I can about trading.
- A site that doesn't ask for a large initial deposit. Just looking to start off with a couple hundred dollars to play around with while I learn.
- Cheap commissions since I am working with a small amount of money.
This would basically just start off as a hobby until I learn much more and can become much more serious about investing.
So far, some of the research I have done has led me to Fidelity and E*Trade. Which of these would you recommend for me, and is there another discount broker more suitable perhaps?
Just a side-note, I have around 2k sitting in my Chase Bank account, so I can go as high as $500 or just switch over to E*Trade banking entirely since they offer a full slate of banking services.
Just want some friendly advice, kind of getting sick of betting on sports and it really gets me nowhere financially, so I figure I might as well start a hobby in online investing since it will help prepare me for funding my retirement.
Any advice would be great, thanks in advance.
