Actually, it shouldn't matter, although I would recommend e-trade. BB stocks trade on the pink sheets and so there is no reported volume and the trades are off the tape. All records are private to the market maker, permanently. It should not matter because the bid-ask spread is largely inelastic. If an item gets enough volume, the broker, unless they are committing fraud, has a strong incentive to move them off the BB. You should assume that if you buy a BB stock, you will own it forever, there are some that do not even trade once per year.

I second the other person's direction to Motley Fool. I started investing as an intern while I was in college ... I put several grand into the company I was interning with (Corning Incorporated). I then got to watch my investment drop approximately 92% in the ensuing 18 months months after that. Fortunately, there was a recovery (and I continued to buy) and I ended up turning a profit, but had it not recovered I probably would have written off the stock market and investing right then and there. Since then, I wisened up and bought the Motley Fool's Investment Guide. A good overview, that will give you enough knowledge to start buying index funds and large corporation stocks. I have since then read Benjamin Graham's "The Intelligent Investor," most of the books by Ben Stein, a few books on market timing, and also that "Little Book" garbage that you'll see on the investment shelves (it's a load of crap). Actually, come to think of it, Ben Stein could be a good starting point - his works are extremely readable thanks to his humor.
