Update: Smith Barney is now part of Morgan Stanley. Also, the discussion of discount brokers should have included.TD Ameritrade. Always keep in mind the fact that brokers are salesmen who primary allegiance is to their firms, not to their clients. All commissions and fees are negotiable. If your broker is reluctant to negotiate, go elsewhere.
