What should I expect from a discount broker?

Discount Brokers

If you don't require much advice or assistance with your investments, look into a discount broker. These online brokers charge very little per trade so more of your money goes toward your actual investment. When comparing discount brokers, check out the services they offer. Many discount brokers offer educational articles and analysis of individual stocks. Some provide consultation for an extra fee. If you plan on doing a lot of trading, look for a discount broker that offers lower rates for frequent traders.
