Investing Ideas – Which Brokerage Account to Use

When you finally feel it’s time to invest, where do you go?  How do you start?

Keep the fees down with more money in your pocket!

It’s a very important decision when choosing a brokerage account provider.  Nowadays, most of them are very similar and offer very comparable services, but there are some out there that will charge $30 per trade instead of less than $10 per trade if you don’t look closely.  An expensive brokerage account can really eat up into your potential ROI with too many fees.
