On-line Stock Brokerage Services
The list of on-line stock brokerage
services grew very rapidly with the advent of electronic stock
trading facilitated by the internet. However, over the past
several years many of the once high flying players fell victim
to competition, mismanagement, and consolidation in the stock
trading market. What follows is a listing of some of the more
prominent stock brokerage services and day trading shops currently
available. Prices for trading will vary considerably. It is
best to do your homework. Overall, there has been considerable
downward price pressure since Charles Schwabb first pioneered
the concept of discount stock trading. However, more recently
trading prices seem to have stabalized at a level substantially
discounted to what the full service brokerage firms charged
once upon a time. We believe that a modest downward trend
will continue - presenting favorable trading and stock investment
opportunities for small investors. It pays to shop around
before selecting a stock brokerage firm. Some firms are even
offering up front incentives and bonuses for new customers.
