Best online trading site for me?

I'm looking for an online trading site where I can make some investments without paying too much. I basically want to do bonds and mutual funds, so I don't need something that's going to let me trade like 50 times per day...what's the best one for just bonds/mutual funds, and maybe some low risk stocks?

Also, one that you don't need a lot to invest with, I'm a poor college student so I have less than $10,000 to invest.

zecco.com is the best for commissions. I use them and have no problems.

Don't be a hater kckid2...just because you're long mortgage backed CDOs doesn't mean you should discourage a young investor. Etrade.com and Quest Trade are great sites for anyone. Maybe you'll have kckid2 washing your Beamer someday. Avoid anything too risky, invest for the long term. Report It

ummmmmmm

You're a poor college student and you want to trade stocks.

It doesn't sound like your major is in business.

Methinks you may be getting poorer real soon.

But, good luck and all that. There's more ways to learn than books can provide. And you may be on the brink of a major discovery.
