Q&A: What online brokerage firm is best for beginners?

Question by Lifepack: What online brokerage firm is best for beginners?
I am a 23 year old college student, and I want to start investing and learning more about how it all works. However, my knowledge is little (limited to one business finance course).

I would like to know what online businesses are best for someone with little knowledge, and no minimum account balance. Any help would be appreciated!

Main interest is buying/selling stocks

Learn the basics. Read a few books on stock investing & then research a broker that meets your knowledgeable requirements.

Start with;
Stock Investing For Dummies.
Then read next:

And then read a couple of more books (your choice).
