A number of websites have attempted to rank all of the discount brokers. The criteria used in the rankings may be different from the criteria that is important to you, but some of these sites allow you to adjust the variables and assign the weight you prefer. Keep in mind that some of these rankings may be based on data that is subjective, and also possibly dated. Still, checking out these rankings might save you some headaches, or narrow your choices.
