Without knowing your specific goals, the general best are Vanguard, Schwab, and Fidelity. Commissions, minimums, expense ratios, etc can make one better than the other depending on what you're looking to do.

Fidelity for work.

 

Ally for stacking/laddering IRA CDs.

 

Vanguard for Roth.

 

Wherever you go, look for no-load index funds and let them ride....

Re: who do you guys use for your stocks, investments?

Not investing yet, but one of my goals is to save $3k to open an account with Vanguard, most likely their 500 index fund. I'll do some more research before I open the account, but I'm just looking for the lowest expense ratio!

Discover It $1k | Chase Freedom $1.2k | Barclay Apple $1.7k | Target $1k |TJX Rewards $1k | Walmart $900 | Macy's $800 | American Eagle $750 | VS $750 | LOFT $500 | Express $350 | Cap1 Sec. $200 |

AU: Amex BCP $5k | Barclaycard Arrival $3k | Amazon Visa $2k | Chase Freedom $2k | Discover It $1.5k

If you don't want to invest the three thousand up front you can go etf route also. Has the same expense ratio as the admiral shares,which require 10000 dollars.
