   @nbs @cjd as a casual trader is there some criteria I should look for when selecting a broker?

     Your primary concern is their fee structure. Fees should be near zero but their platform should provide some basic functionality

     For buying and holding small amounts of stocks, Robinhood is fine. I’d personally go with Schwab, Fidelity, or Vanguard. I use Schwab for my portfolios

     For trading stocks actively, ThinkOrSwim (think Schwab owns them) is a good platform. That or Interactive Brokers

     For options, I’d use TastyTrade or whatever they call themselves now
