I used to trade options through a broker and have done some of the with E Trade, but you have to devote a lot of time to it, if you're using a service like E Trade. Mostly, I'm a buy and hold investor and don't usually feel the need to move in and out of positions a lot.

So when you use E-trade and just hold on to a few stocks, does it cost a signifigant amount of money to just sign up and buy some stocks? I have a couple of stocks in mind I want to buy, and I want to procure some, and keep doing it on a monthy basis.
