I gather that the account will start out in the $50k to $100k range, all in a taxable account. His priorities are cheap stock trades and excellent and easy to use website/user interface. Good access to mutual funds would be a plus also.

So who do you all use and recommend?

Thanks!

I used Scottrade initially, but changed to Vanguard because Scottrade's DRIP program...well it kinda sucked. Trades were $7, same as Vanguard. Vanguard has an Individual I.R.A. Brokerage account, which houses 3 mutual funds that I've owned for some time. (VTSAX, VHCOX and VTSAX) and my MMM. Vanguard also has fantastic service with phone availability Mon.-Sat. And you can't beat the mutual fund line-up.
On the flip side, Scottrade has brick and mortar stores in some cities. Very convenient if you want to speak to a real person face to face.
I can't see myself changing from Vanguard...ever.
