I have used Charles Schwab for almost 5 years now, and I find their services to be above par. The trading fees are somewhat higher than their rivals, however, their customer support is very knowledgeable and they have a solid online trading platform. One advantage to using Charles Schwab for a discount broker is they have actual locations you can deposit and withdraw checks from your account. eTrade and Trade King do not have this feature forcing customers to wire money, which can become expensive.
