I find them very beneficial. Quick execution. Low charges. Rapid stock quotes. I do not have any experience with the two you mentioned but I have with TD Ameritrade and Fidelity. I like TD Ameritrade's site better, but I like Fidelity research and money market much much better.

you have to compare them on a side by side basis. Sharebuilder is great for BUILDING wealth NOT trading. Etrade is one of the more expensive brokers to trade, scottrade is ok but I got burned on one of their orders lost way more than what I was supposed to. Same with TD ameritrade they sold a security well above a price I set (currently under SEC investigation for that one) , the cheapo ones like sogo it took three months and a threat of a court order to get my money back out of the account I set up. Zecco has serious customer service issues, thinkorswim doesn't know what an ETF is.
So just beware.

You can have as many brokerage accounts as you like. As for tax time, some brokers are more prompt with their 1099s than others. We are still waiting on one for my wife's broker. I do use two brokers, one being Fidelity. The other is TD Ameritrade. Fidelity research is vastly superior to TD Ameritrade. TD Ameritrade has Thinkorswim trading platform. There are other things I like about TD Ameritrade also better than Fidelity. Their customer service is good when you have a problem but so it Fidelity's. They are a tad more expensive--$2.00 per trade. There was a time during the flash crash when I attempted to access the Fidelity site to buy and could not. I got into the Ameritrade site with no problem and executed my trade. When I complained to Fidelity, the gave me 10 free trades and apologized. Unfortunately, I do not have any experience with the other brokers.

I've been with sharebuilder for about 7 years. I recommend it to everyone, before that I had a broker that I would call to place my orders. I was very unhappy with the service I received, from the fees to place orders to my broker taken the day off. By having an on line account you have easy access to your account and your able to place order anytime you want, Also you wont receive a call from a person trying to sell you the stock of the month that there broker is trying to unload.

On like brokerages are really a good idea. You make money irrespictive of the client's profit or loss. But you need to be very careful and shrewd to retain your clients.
Though it is not that very difficult, you need to study a lot and also consult a lot of experts.
You can mail me if you need any further help...

I think they are great. I like TD Ameritrade. The site is really easy to use, low comissions and access to research.

I prefer On-line with brick & mortar , in case there are issues and need to see a live person , like Schwab .
BUT , your avatar is so snarly , that if you go in like that , they may flee .
Lighten up maybe ?
