Default Do you invest online?

Just wanted to gage how many people on here actively invest online (eg. stocks etc.)?

If you do, which online broker services do you use?

Cheers...

I've put a toe in -

I put money in my Coke (KO) DRP electronically, and I monitor all of my DRPs online (they send me self-stamped envelopes so its free to use snail mail).
I buy and monitor my savings bonds online using Treasury Direct.
I save online using ING.
I move money around from my checking/savings account online.

I don't have a broker, because I invest fairly small amounts. Even the shareholder fee would eat up almost 10% of my transactions.

Oh yes, I forgot:
I can monitor and rebalance my two 403 (b) accounts online also.

Absolutely. Vanguard makes it easy. I can transfer money directly from my checking account. Very convienant.
