Anyone do any online stock trading?

[Minnie824]

I figured I'd try a new hobby as long as I'm online and try to figure out the stock market. I really don't know too much about it, so does anyone know of good online trading sites or any good stocks for that matter?

I use http://www.buyandhold.com This site isn't really geared for trading so much as long term investing.

You might want to start by reading around at http://www.fool.com and some other sites, to do some research first.

I was with ETrade for a few years, but recently switched to Scottrade.

I use Scottrade and love it. It is extremely easy. The only down side to using them is they do not accept electronic transfers, so I have to write checks and either mail them or drop them off at the office. It costs $7.00 per trade, which is pretty reasonable and you start your account with a minimum of $500.00.
