Let me preface by my previous experiance.
I opened an E*Trade Account several years ago with the minimum $1000..
I bought 100 shares of HASBRO @ around 7.50 a share and 100 shares of SPACEHAB @ around 3.00 a share...
The Space Hab stock tanked, and my account 'value' dropped below $1000... at which point E*Trade started charging me $25 a quarter, decreasing my account balance even futher... I eventually cashed out my account and got about 600$ after having E*Trade take 250$ in fees from me.
I was not happy and I have not invested since then.
Now I am married and I am looking to open a stock account again, I do not mind high 'per-trade fees' but I am not willing to pay account maintanance or other 'add on' fees to make someone else rich...
I am not a 'constant trader' and I can do my own research... I just want to buy several stocks, hold on to them for a while (1 to 12+ months) sell them, buy more, and later take out some of the money.
