ING Direct's Sharebuilder is a great for new players in the stock market, but it comes at a price. Although quite a good deal compared to most other online brokers, ShareBuilder has a $10 fee compared to Scottrades $7 dollar fee. Money isn't everything though, and ShareBuilder offers a wealth of tools and investing options that will help investors succeed. ShareBuilder also has no initial balance requirement (Scottrade has a $500 minimum), and withdrawing and depositing money by wire is easy and efficient. Any way you look at ShareBuilder is great for your average investor.
