Default I have no idea what discount broker to use

My friends and I are starting an investment club.

Pretty small time at the moment.

Out club is going to be modeled as such:

Long term buy and hold
purchases of 1-5 stocks a month
Some of the purchases will be the in same stock
Dividend reinvestment would be a plus
Monthly purchases would total $200 a month (Unless for some reason we sell a position (not really club objective) and have a lot of additional cash)

---

Buy and Hold seem to carter to long term investing, but slap you for $15 for a real time order

Same with Sharebuilder

The upside to those is that they have low monthly costs for our club, and we'd get 2 trades for cheap.

Scottrade looks nice at $7 a trade, but sadly no reinvestment.

Any other I'm missing, or thoughts from the crowd?
