    I've looked online. The so called "best" brokers have web sites that range from bad to very bad. I simply won't trust my money to a company who can't even get the basics under control. Any suggestions?

    Schwab is pretty easy to navigate on PC and they have plenty of tools that make it easy to sort stocks by different metrics. Basic trading on mobile is easy but stock information is a bit limited.

    My prediction for Apple proved good, increasing 100% in the past 12 months.

    All my friends are sticking on Schwab. It's indeed super easy to use and has lots of tools for sorting stocks. If you're not 100% sure about a stockbroker, try and find out if they have well-regarded reviews on the internet. Or you could take a look here https://www.playlouder.com/acorns-vs-robinhood-vs-webull-vs-m1-finance/. These are some useful apps that work with reputable stock brokers. For instance, Robinhood isn't bad at all. All of my university acquaintances are investing and trading through this kind of app.

    I watched a show around 5 years back about randomness. A Man had posted sticky pad notes on a wall and there were numerous. All stock selling Companies were available (this was USA) The Man threw 10 random darts and invested in the sticky notes he hit. Across the board he profited above the average than the Members that use Brokers. I spoke also to a Broker in Vancouver Canada many times as his Filipina Wife and my Asawa are friends and he told me at times they also use this randomness effect.

    Hi

    A few questions to concider before giving anyone your money

    What country is your money in?
    What country market are you looking to invest in?

    Are you looking for a company to transact YOUR trades or "a guy" that picks the stocks for you?

    Do you want to pay per trade or a commision on your portfolio?

    Are you looking for advise regarding your financial future or just playing the stock market game for fun?

    What is your time horizon?
    What is your risk tollarance?

    Are you setting up the money to live off, estate planning for the next generation, or something else?

    How "hands on" do YOU want to be?

    Yes, there are apps, and companies that will take your deposit but before picking one you need to know your goal. You can go with a cheap per trade company, or have a minimum deposit managed by a robo-advisor, or you can have a regular video conference with your dedicated broker.
    There are several options not listed, I am just looking to give you ideas.

    Depending on your goal will make a difference on who you will want handeling your money.
