Online Stocks, broker...beginner investor which should I choose, ing sharebuilder or optionsXpress? details...

I've researched both, sharebuilder seems more for beginner use but also has $40 a year ira esa fees, but $4 automatic trades, and optionsXpress has $9.95 stocks and mutual funds of $14.95.
Just looking for some help on which to go with...if anyone has any experience with them or have heard about them.

Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account. If you do this, and you have extra cash, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.

Go to : low-cost-stock-recommendations

.com

Click on the "DRIP's" Button on the Navigation Bar

These powerful investment plans are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.

They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down. They are a must for any serious investor.

If you decide you are interested in DRIP Plans, click on the advertisement on the same page "$4 to purchase stocks". This will answer your next question, which is, How do I get started? and what is the least expensive way to get started?

I strongly recommend looking into it. They are great plans.

Good Luck

OptionsXepress is a great broker... but not for a newbie. Sharebulider is an "OK" choice.

If you want great research and the help of a great support broker... then;
Charles Schwab &
Fidelity Investments
would be your best choices. A little more expensive. But well worth it.
