I’ve posted a number of product and service reviews on this site ranging from cookware to hotels.  Those reviews talk of quality, availability and most importantly price, a.k.a., spending money wisely.  Then it hit me, why not do a review on money – investing to be more precise – evaluating stock trading services?

In the coming weeks, I’ll be taking a look at online brokers, outfits like Firstrade, Charles Schwab and Etrade.  Being evaluated will be items such as investment account minimums, fees, promotions, customer service and most importantly, how easy it is to use the various trading platforms. 

I’m really looking forward to this one, playing with money!
