Does anyone here do any online trading?

Hey guys, I've been looking into the possibility of doing some online trading (stocks, funds etc) and wonder if anyone here does this and if so I was wondering what brokerage company you use (Scottrade, Etrader etc) and if you have any suggestions, advice, instruction..... comments or snide remarks?

Thanks much!

Also on the online trading.....

If you do this - have you had good success, so-so or not so good? Thanks!

I do it. I use my Fidelity account manager to buy/sell stocks.
It's pretty good. I have been using it for this for three years now and no problems.

I use Ameritrade

I like the trading tools and platform very well. As far as success, there is a direct relationship between th time you put into it and the potential for profit. If I have time to keep up with the financial world and can make rational sense of the world and the market, I can generate some returns. However, if life gets in the way such as your day job, often there is little time to keep up with the news necessary to make appropriate moves.
