Investment Firm?


Right now I am 17 I will be 18 next week. I currently have 800 dollars invested in various stocks and I am using Scottrade. Scottrade doesnt thrill me and I dont use he local office. I am thinking of using Shwab. I dont mind the extra cost to trade as I am longterm in all my stocks. What do you think of me transfering to shwab? should I stick with Scottrade or is there someone better like E-Trade? Shwabs my top pick but im open to suggestions.

I believe your trading costs will be at least double with Schwab, with $800 invested at this point. Schwab is best for people with alot more money invested.

I would look into the online brokerages, like Ameritrade or ETrade.
