A good place to start for a beginner
"I have used Sharebuilder for investing and this is my experience with them. When I was new to the market and I was still learning. I used the services of Sharebuilder and Sogotrade (which was called SogoInvest back then) during my days as a beginner. I didn't have much money to begin with, I was 16 Read more...

Cheap Trades Will Cost You
"Since I already had a CapitalOne account from my IngDirect days, it seemed like a good idea to have a linked ShareBuilder account. And if you want to setup a few mutual funds or stocks and just automatically invest every month, then ShareBuilder will work just fine for you. But look elsewhere if Read more...

Pretty Lousy
Used them in the past and they are about the worst way to buy stocks over time. They are relatively expensive and most traders will do much better just going to TD Ameritrade, Scottrade, etc. if you just want to buy stocks over time. All these brokers have automatic features that you can pretty mu Read more...
I am amazed that ING still offers this service. This is good for the beginner who doesn't know much, doesn't do much, and doesn't want to do much in investing. There whole "pitch" is to be able to buy partial shares because people can't afford to get the whole thing. There are other/better discount Read more...
These guys are the worst! The software is just pure and execution awful!
This was my very first broker. My relationship with them lasted about 2 months. They have horrible fills, horrible tools, and a platform that seems to be stuck in the 80's or should be running on windows 95 or sumthin. All that for 9.95 per trade!!!!!! an extremely high commission for what they offe Read more...

Good for investors but not a all for trader!
"I think Sharebuilder is good for anyone who wants to build their portfolio but if you thinking about day-trading please stay away from this broker. The execution is really bad and I don't think they have trading platform for day-trading. They have some good promotion that new account will get $50 Read more...

Good for both beginners and those with experience
This site is a great choice in stock trading, as they offer resourceful tools for beginners and those with experience alike. The website is effortless in its navigational functions and I enjoyed the minimal investment requirements. There are some fees here, so choose your account wisely. Customer su Read more...
The charts are terrible. Research tools are non-existent for basic account holders

Got me interested in investing, but bad for active traders
"The ads for ""$4 trades"" lured me in, and got me interested in long-term investing, in addition to the lack of hidden fees. I didn't really know much about investing, trading, or the differences between investing/trading strategies back then, so I began my feeble attempts at investing, which most Read more...
