Charles Schwab is the original discount brokerage, but nowadays it operates at the mid-range level, offering many services normally only available at full-service brokers. Their commissions are still very low compared to the typical big brokerage, but they're not the cheapest broker out there any more. That being said, cost is not everything, and for those who want a bit more personal attention from their broker, Charles Schwab is a choice worth considering.
