For stocks:
In the U.S., probably Ameritrade,
In Canada, probably TradeFreedom.
Mutual Funds is another matter.

Charles Schwab is the best---the rest have hidden fees.
We sure to open a "self directed account" you will do better than a Broker that looks over your account every 6 months!
Only $9.95 a trade.

Vanguard. By FAR. They consistently are in the top 3 of mutual fund brokers worldwide.

Schwab charges $9.95 per trade.
Scottrade charges $7.00 per trade.
The others like to do evil crap like charge you money for CANCELLING an account. Legg Mason did this to me after I owed a bunch of their mutual funds for nearly 7 years.
e trade isn't bad, but you will not get to talk with a person without waiting a loooong time.
The more they advertise, the more they charge, as a rule.
I have not dealt with Vanguard, but their fees on mutual funds are among the lowest.
