Actually, when my finals are over this term, I plan on buying a little stock. Maybe $300ish at first and then I'll add to my portfolio as I figure things out. I might have a few questions for you before I get started.

I'm looking to trade online. The larger firms seem to have minimum starting balance requirements, but there are a couple of local full featured internet (and they also have offices) companies. Are there downsides to using one of them?
