need a stock broker... any ideas?

[Jrfish007]

So, I have some money to play with, and I have some good stocks I want to invest in, but these are penny type and I need a broker that won't rape me when I do a bunch of small trades. Any ideas? I already have an account with Schwab, but it's a long term account that kills me for highly active trading, but it's very secure, aka retirement funds. This account is a trade stocks on a day to day basis or week to week basis. So anybody know of a good choice? Any experience? Thanks!

If its all small, try self inventing services like Ameritrade, E-Trade, etc. You can buy and sell on your own if you know what you are looking for.

Yeah, that's what I'm looking for, but I was wondering if anybody had any pro/cons to anyone specific company.

Slightly different fees, minimums, gaurantees between those two. Take a read on both sites (Ameritrade has become TDAmeritrade) about those items, as well as incentives ("50 free trades", etc.) for both. I've used E-Trade for a while and been fine with that. A few friends use Ameritrade and are reasonably happy.
