I love schwab. Been w them 20+ yrs. Trades r free. U can go into any office and spk w them, get advice. If u get into trading, I rec Street Smart Edge. Its included, but u have to open it once uve entered their site. Addit, everyday they have live instructional video. Some are learning Trading, others are daily commentary. Schwab Live Daily. I have certain ones I watch every wk.
