I'm about to open an account to invest in a couple of financial instruments. I'd like to ear your experience with opening an account with a discount broker, and if you could be so kind as to recommend a really good one, that would be awesome! 1 - How long did it take for the account to be ready to rock? 2 - What kind of information did they require? 3 - What are the main features I should be looking for? Thanks guys!
