I'll try to include a phone number for each brokerage. Let me remind you
once again that you can access your browser and search engine to look
up (online discount stock brokerages). There's plenty to choose from.
I started with the first broker listed below. I will probably open up a second
account with another brokerage soon. There's just no such thing as the
perfect brokerage. I've gotten reports (from people who make multiple
trades per day), saying the big sites are sometimes too busy to access.
The listing of these brokerage firms does not constitute an endorsement
or recommendation on my part. Choose a brokerage that fits your style.
E-Trade Securities: ... U.S. and Global Access

E-Trade was one of the first electronic discount brokers online and on
the Internet. They're located in Palo Alto, California, in Silicon Valley. You
can live anywhere in the world and trade with E-trade (online). Their web
site is highly organized. This is a very professional and informative site.
All the brokers that I'll list have decent prices. If you trade often, low cost trades can save you a bundle. You'll find everything you need to make
your stock trades on this site. E-Trade charges $14.95 for market orders only, on listed stocks only, for up to 5000 shares of stock.
You'll find out, as I said earlier in this discussion, that not all investors or
traders are 100% happy with any one specific brokerage firm. I hear from
many about their experience with certain brokers. People either brag on
their brokerage, or complain, with equal intensity. I hear good and bad.
You should always call the customer service numbers of these firms and
ask them to send you their information on opening up a trading account.
I suggest that you choose at least five or six of the best known and do a
tit-for-tat comparison. You'd be surprised at how different they can be.
Let me say again ........... Choose a brokerage firm that fits your style.
