What’s the best online stock trading site? In terms of costs, speed, customer service, efficiency, etc.?

As in cheap or low cost per trade, low commission.

Fast, not taking too long to actually perform the transaction, if possible honoring prices they themselves gave.

Easy, not having to put a lot of info on each trade, if possible single click, and good friendly customer service

Offering the option to have cash dividends sent to your home instead of being reinvested.

I might also want the option to have the ‘paper’ representation given for stocks be sent to my house.
Also preferably no membership fee or annual fee if possible.

Who is the best discount brokerage company and why?

After answering the initial question if you have experience trading options with any of these discount brokers I would appreciate that information as well. I used to use a full service for my options trading though they were very expensive and had a different trading style than I prescribe to. Any advice is appreciated.

Swaminathan P, can you please provide some links to the “scam” sites you are talking about? Thanks.
Note: the reason I use this list is because this is who I have setup for auto-trading with my broker OptionsXpress.

As far as my goals, they are capital growth with high risk tolerance. This would be a small percentage of my trading captial. However with most of these services you use iron condors and spreads, in which case $5000 per trade seems like the magic number to be worth the trading fees.
