I opened several different accounts with TradeKing in the past several days. Smartmoney magazine had rated TradeKing the best online discount brokerage firm. My current accounts are with Scottrade (they finished second), and I thought after reading this that I would have the two compete for my business.Â
I went to tradeking.com and the account set-up process was easy to understand and a snap to finish. I signed up for a joint account in addition to a Roth IRA account. All I have left is to fund my accounts, but so far I am very pleased with the efficiency of the process. Updates will follow.
