Is it better to invest through a bank or an investment firm (ie. Pitney Bowes, ING, etc)?

investment firm..

When did Pitney Bowes become an investment firm? Anyway, stay away from banks - they usually have very high fees and a limited range of investment products. They will push you toward whichever funds they are pushing at the time. A good investment firm will have more options and lower fees than banks.

Pitney Bowes is a postage meter company. ING is a bank.
go to www.vanguard.com
www.troweprice.com
www.fidelity.com

Usually investment firm is better than bank .

But ING direct is good too, it charge no fee for ING's funds. ING direct is different from other banks.

Investment Firm because they have nearly unlimited options of what to invest in. Avoid Vanguard, Fidelity, and the like who push their own Mutual Funds and go to a broker that can use any funds out there just because they are the best.
