Charles Schwab | Home |
Day traders and seasoned investors may prefer discount brokers, but for the rest of us, Charles Schwab's do-it-yourself online offerings are a great resource. Schwab's Analyst Center is a case in point: Not only does it provide research reports, but it also has a tutorial for newbie capitalists. And the Schwab service got top marks from PC Magazine readers in our recent Web site satisfaction survey. |

Fidelity Investments |
Fidelity not only rates high when it comes to research tools, security, and customer support but also makes your life a little easier by e-mailing PDFs of your financial statements -- less paper clutter to worry about. New features at the site include the ability to open a nonretirement brokerage account online (previously you could only leverage existing accounts). IRAs will soon be added to the list, too. Also new, the company says it will offer electronic money-transfer options later this year. Currently, clients had to wire money or send a check. |

From the company that made Bill Gates a billionaire, MoneyCentral was a PC Magazine Editors' Choice in June 2000. |
