Answer #2 Can't say for sure. But I use Schwab. E-trade hassome questionable practices such as charging youmaintenance fees on an account which containsworthless stocks. They won't close your accountunless you have sold all your stocks. Some stocksare worthless, i.e. no one will buy them. E-Tradewill not close your account unless you sell thesestocks that no one will buy. That way they cankeep charging you maintenance fees. They will noteven accept the stocks as a donation so you couldclose the account.I suggest you visit the broker'sweb site and find out what they offer in the wayof free (or paid ) research and what usefulfeatures they have in their brokerage that wouldquickly make you a savvy investor.Sometimes whenyou go on the cheap what you get turns out to beexpensive so don't pick the cheapest broker,especially if you don't really know what you'redoing. - answered by Akasanoma
