Whether a broker is useful or not depends on how much work and market monitoring an individual is inclined to do for trading and investing, and the complexity of the positions (some options structures require a knowledgeable broker to implement). Also some people feel the need for handholding from a "professional" ... a false sense of security in my opinion. There are a few good brokers, but they are few and far in between.

It took me over ten years to find a CPA worthy of the fee ... in over 20 years I have yet to find a broker worth the commission. A brokerage account is helpful when the firm provides clients access to markets otherwise not accessible or research reports. I focus on reliability and timeliness of trade execution, and a firm that will rectify things immediately when they screw up ... no if and or buts.

Send me a private message when/if you want to get into specifics.
