There are many opportunities to choose an online broker. I use Scottrade but have only had dealing with one other. To the best of my knowledge any online broker can buy/sell stock on any market in the world.

I use Scottrade but there are many of them out there to try from. Its free to open an account and I believe a $500 minimum initial investment is required. This way you can make all your own investment decisions and use the tools and reports provided by Scottrade. All the online dealers have different rates, but Scottrade only charges $7 per transaction so you never have to worry about what you will be charged with the random fees charged by other brokers. Scottrade has never charged me a dime other than for my trades.

Scottrade transactions go through virutally instantly. I was very impressed with how quick my transactions are carried out and that my funds are available for trading immediately

Scottrade is ok, but it’s not good for shorting stock nor for trading stock that has made recent huge percentage moves. Or for trading pre-market hours. If you’re interested in day trading, I hear good things about IB (Interactive Brokers), MB trading, TD Ameritrade, Think or Swim, Lightrade. No broker is perfect–there will always be times when connections can’t be made, trades can’t be made, date feeds are poor.

If I was in your position I would go for TD.
