I also have a Schwab brokerage account for more "long-term" investments.

Are you referring to www.sec.gov?? You can find pertinent reports on that site I believe...10K...etc.
+1 on Scottrade
I love Scottrade Elite
One of the reasons I installed Windows on my Mac

But recently I've gone over to BofA as they offer 30 commission free trades a month
$7 at Scottrade isn't bad, but 7x30 is already a $210 savings a month, which is where most of my extra mod money has come from heh

eTrade has some amazing tools too, but their commissions are a bit high for day-trading

Btw, stay away from day-trading... at least for now

play the fake stock games :P
I did those in HS as part of my Econ and Investments classes and it helped out amazingly.
