The stock market is a crazy place and it can be really scary especially when you see things like Chase announcing a $2 Billion loss happening right before your eyes. Of course people can still make money when the price of a certain stock goes down or they can protect their money by moving it out of that affected stock as well.
If you are looking for a trading platform for your stocks, options and ETFs a good way to save money is to look for one that has low fees.
There are a number of places you can choose from but each one has a different set of requirements, ranging from the minimum to open the account to the cost per trade.
Here are a few options that you can check out when you are looking for a place to trade on the stock market. I personally use Sharebuilder because for someone like me with limited knowledge and a very limited cash base the choices are simple.
I also liked Sharebuilder because it allows you to buy partial shares of a stock so you can still own the stock even if you don’t have the money to buy a whole share at a time.
