I use TD's Web Broker and there is no minimum trade threshold and only costs $5/trade.Most places (iTrade is one that comes to mind) have some form of simulator where you can use play money, and pretend to invest in real stocks just to get the hang of it. iTrade was taken over / bought out by Scotia Trade and it sucks horribly now. I *MUST* make a trade every quarter or they charge me $25. So, if the market sucks, or I just don't have the cash to be playing with.... too bad.. I have to buy or sell something anyway (at $20 a trade usually), to avoid the $25 fee... I think it should be illegal.
