Scottrade
This company wins the award in my book. I've used a company that was purchased by Ameritrade (can't remember the name), Ameritrade, and now Scottrade. I love these guys!
Top 5 Reasons I Love Scottrade
1. $7 commissions
2. No inactive account fees
3. No account maintenance fees
4. Only $500 required to open an account
5. Super friendly customer services folks
Ameritrade is not very friendly for the buy-and-hold investor. An inactive account fee is levied during each quarter in which you do not place a trade. That is the primary reason I left Ameritrade.
Apparently Ameritrade is planning to acquire TD Waterhouse. I don't know how that will shake out, but I'm sure the two companies combined will be a force to be reckoned with.
I have not used ETrade at all. I hear positive things about them, but Scottrade was a better fit for me right now.
