Ask HN: Best online brokerage? I'm looking to do some stock market speculating for a quick gain with little risk. I'll only be investing about $800 and I will be selling pretty quickly thereafter, so fees for both buying and selling should be minimal, so should withdrawal fees. Mint.com integration would be a bonus. As a token of my appreciation I'll do whatever referral thing your brokerage does (if that's allowed by HN) if I choose your site. |
Unless you are looking for education services or becoming a day trade, any discount broker will do. As with most things the more you pay the more you get, ie. thinkorswim isn't the cheapest but they focus on education
I'll mostly be buying cheap blue chips and companies that are basically hard hit by the current crisis but bound to make a comeback within 1-2 years. Which companies exactly I'm not sure yet.
They even sent me a shirt when I asked for one on twitter :D
