Best investment accounts

Hello,

I am ready to open up an investment account to trade in stocks etc. I was wondering what you guys would recommend as the best option for an account for a beginner investor?

Any insight is very much appreciated!

I like optionshouse because of the low fees.

If you don't have much money to invest a 10$ fee each way from ThinkorSwim will take a bite out of your account. I think OHouse is half that.

yea, ToS fees are high. Was just suggesting because its free to open and their software is really solid. You can always trade with another broker and use the ToS software for analysis and research.
