Anyone here have a free/cheap way to buy/sell stocks? I bought about $450 of one the other day and my bank hit me with a $26 fee for the purchase... thats already 5-6% of the investment... if they hit me with the same fee when I sell, thats 10-12% of the investment eaten up in fees... is there any easier/cheaper way to do this? Anyone have a service/bank they like? I just use Scotia's online investment functions... its really handy, but if I'm paying through the nose I'd like to know.

Thanks for any advice.
