i recommend using ameritrade which is what i use. if you are a complete beginner at stocks, go to investopedia.com. they allow you to use a stock simulator of around $100,000. to buy and sell stocks. during the simulator you dont have to worry about losing money and you can learn a ton about stocks. this is how i first started investing. afterwards, my mom (im only 15) gave me 45,000 to invest in real stocks and i have made around $5000. good luck investing, if you have questions you can e-mail me at berelane@yahoo.com

Join marketocracy.com. It's a free site, they don't sell your contact info or spam you.
What they do is let you run a virtual mutual fund... up to ten of them, actually. You're then ranked vs other members.
The main benefit, though, is the opportunity to make buy/sell decisions, some of which will be mistakes, but they'll be mistakes made with play money instead of real money.
I had to lose ten grand trying to be a stock trader before I realized I didn't have a clue what I was doing. I joined marketocracy, learned a bit, and now I'm pretty good at it.
Knock wood, LOL!

You might want to take a look at http://www.top10traders.com - this is a free site that lets you create a portfolio of stocks with $100,000 in "play" money. Each day the site ranks the best performing portfolios, so you can see how your picks perform compared to other investors. You can read posts on investing from the best traders, as well as share your own investing ideas. There is a charting feature, so you can see how your portfolio performs compared to the S&P 500. Also, you can create your own "group" so that you can see how you are doing compared to your friends.
Here are this month's best traders:

Fidelity, TD Ameritrade and Merrill Edge are all good. I know Merrill edge has no minumum deposit and can link to you Bank of America account for instant transfers. I believe TD ameritrade has a minumum deposit rule of 2000 and I cant remember if fidelity has a minum deposit. All have decent research tools, while obviously TD ameritrade has the best derivatives trading platform. Commissions: Merrill 6.95 Fidelity 7.95 plus some commission free ETFs TDAmeritrade 9.99
