Brokerages + Portfolio Management
#1
What brokerages are you guys using for your investing?

I'm personally using Robinhood and tapping into their API that syncs nightly so all the info syncs to a php app I made to generate nice graphs.

Here I can see what the Ex-Div dates/Upcoming are, How many shares I owe, what the payout ratios are, what is the P/E, etc
   

Sector Balancing
   

Portfolio Growth Overtime
   

Dividends By Month + Projected 6 Months ahead based on past payouts.
   

Since Robinhood doesn't have a web version, its very hard to manage and see the big picture with a mobile app online, browser based also makes it much easier to manage account and execute on trades.

Fidelity here too. The only complaint I have is trade fees are $7.95 which isnt bad, but I wish they would have a tiered trade fee structure like Vanguard.

I use OptionsXpress, by Charles Schwab. Trades are $6.95. Also, I use ComputerShare for DRIP (commission-free!) and Loyal3 for BRK.b and GOOGL (commission free, also).

I use DeGiro.nl. 00.50 cents per trade and 00.005 per share

Any one know how as an non us resident can use a drip. They all require a us bank account. And of course i do not have that.

I've checked out Degiro and decided against them.
They have no ISA wrapper or Dividend reinvestment here in the UK.

interactiveBrokers here. $1 to $$2 for one trade which is subtracted from the monthly fee of some $8. Realtime data cost extra.

if you are trading with smaller amounts then take a look at changing the pricing structure. The default one has a minimum of $1 but the other  has no minimum... usually my transactions of around $400 are something like $0.3. I don't know which one is better with larger amounts.
