I'm new to the market (as of 4/6/99) and started off with E*Trade mainly because it was "well known" and because signing up was extremely simple (as well as getting a click miles bonus). The main reason I started with them, was because their minimum account startup was $1000, which was all I wanted to play with in the beginning.. Since then I added $6000 more to play with as I got the hang of things and begin to pick some stocks.

I like E*Trade for the fact that I could download my portfolio & account balances right into Microsoft Money.. I have all of my accounts (checking/credit/401k/stocks) managed in Microsoft Money, and it gives me a great representation about how my money is doing..

I also love the custom views you can put on your portfolio, the easy to use graphic interface, etc.

The only thing i do not like is: SLOW executions and slow confirmations.. I don't see why they can't offer fast executions like all the other brokers. If they are recommended #1, they really need to improve this!
