Great Broker / Research Tools are Fantastic / Nice Platform

"First I want to clarify that Stock Trade Fees are $8.95 Flat. Self Clearing so executions are extremely fast. You can trade sub-penny stocks but I don't recommend if you like to short penny stocks.

Trades too slow

I left them because trades are either too slow or they wont allow trades on certain penny stocks. Hey, its my money if I want to sink it in a sub penny then let me right. Customer service is good but just not enough tools like PRO and trades cost too much.

The Best Service

Great customer service, great resources, mediocre software

"I love having Schwab as a backup brokerage for my serious trading accounts. Not only is Schwab customer service exceptional but Schwab brokerages are also fully featured checking accounts.
