Which Stock Brokerage Firm(s) Do You Use?
Image taken from Daily Advisor
Almost everyone, if not all, Steemians that exist are somewhat of crypto enthusiasts. Many of us are still involved in traditional assets such as common stocks. Like crypto exchanges, there are many brokerages out there. I have only had experiences with a few of them. I can only speak from my limited experiences as a citizen of the USA.
I use only Robinhood and Fidelity Investments. I do my purchases and trading through Robinhood. Fidelity is the place where I check out analysts reports and technical tools.
Since I am a cheap millennial (or is it Gen Y?), I find the zero commission on Robinhood attractive. The downside is that the platform is rather minimalist, as it gets the job done, but simple to use. I would have to pay $4.95 a trade on Fidelity. It's a steep price to pay unless I drop a few grand at once.
In converse, a basic Robinhood account is only allowed to deposit $1000 a day. More if you have a Gold account. That's already a lot for an average pleb like me, but not worth it for the bigger players. When it comes to methods of transferring money, Fidelity offers more venues to on board its users.
Another interesting, but seldom looked at feature, is setting your beneficiaries. Robinhood does not offer this feature and would have to work with the executor of the estate
when you pass away. Fidelity, does make this process easier, especially when you have NetBenefits.
To reiterate the point of this poll:
Which stock brokerage firms do you use?
If you could, please share your experiences. What are some perks or cons to those services?

Never heard of any of them. I used anycoin and now I buy via the wallets I have, bitvavo, blockchain etc. I always pay fee even if they say I don't need to. Quess it's the dutch or EU law that makes us?

Nowadays I don't use any stock brokerage firm(s).
I tried/used eToro, Oanda, XM, Grand Capital, ADS Securities London, Plus500 in the past mostly for forex and CFD (for example wheat, sugar, corn, soybeans) trading.

I'm able to use my crypto for purchases but yeah, it doesn't work in every domain. So, I cash out by selling to individuals/crypto traders

Risky business selling to individuals.
You are indeed a pioneer in the usage of crypto.
