Introduction: Online stock trading is big these days and the commissions and fees involved keep going down. It is not uncommon to see online trading services that will give you $25 or more just for signing up or $100 in commission free trades for depositing a certain amount of money in your new account. You'll also find many companies offering no fee IRA's, money market funds and commission for the money you keep in your stock account. Finally, the internet has evened the playing field and has become an excellent place to conduct stock market research using free resources, free quotes and endless free information.
