for simple purposes of playing around with stocks, what does the Pack recommend: Fidelity, E-trade, TD-Ameritrade? thanks in advance

I’ve been happy with Ameritrade and have used them for a long time. But I think there are several good choices and not sure there is significant differences between the big players.

TD was bought by Charles Schwab. I have used TD for years and really like it. Probably would go with Fidelity if I had it to do over. It is not worth the hassle to change. Either of those are great.

I just jumped in Ameritrade and invested in the Vanguard S&P 500 Index Fund (VOO)...and a little money on some other stocks. I love the platform so far.

I was with Scott Trade,

then bought by TD Amertrade...The change was not that bad, & I really don't expect a big issue with this next change,

which is likely 15 plus months off.

Change, ...You can expect it!

Most of the better ones all have free trades now. Find the platform you like. I’ve been with TDAmeritrade for longer than I care to admit.

Just buy an index. Simple.

Can't say I reached critical mass but have enough
