Can anyone recommend a good online broker

[BLeedINGandLovingit]

I need to do a small amount of trading and am looking for a good broker. My criteria are that as I'll be doing very few trades, I want one that won't charge me an inactive fee. Halifax offers such a service - any comments or thoughts?

I use Selftrade, they don't charge an inactive feed.

Do you work for the company by any chance?

You have posted on multiple threads today about how wonderful it is...

It's all a bit obvious IMHO.

Did you know that advertisers have to pay a fee?

actually Whippet no i don't.

I had just used it recently and found it really useful and so I thought I would post it on the investment threads where I thought it might be helpful to others.

Nice to know there's are trusting nature amongst fellow Mums though.... perhaps you should spend more time caring for your children than taking on a self appointed vetting role for new mums on mumsnet
