Online stock for small time investors: firstrade.com, buyandhold.com, sharebuilder.com? Any recommendations?

Question: I started using sharebuilder.com and noticed that my fees for purchasing two stocks were $8.00. I'm new to the market and I had only put $80 in to begin with. That would mean my stocks need to make $8.00 before I start getting any profit. I heard about firsttrade.com and BuyandHold.com also. I've seen a few threads but I'm wondering if anyone has had noticed smaller fees with one more than another.

Answer:
munch its that way because you are not a "subscriber" if you subscribe you will pay x amount a month but get free trades to BUY and a small discount to sell (they start at near $20 and go as low as 12) in the LONG run it isn't worth it and i looked a few others before settling with Scottrade

Scottrade charges only $7.00 USD.

I would cash out and transfer that money to "scott trade". I have had nothing but pleasant experiences with them for only $7 a buy or sell.
