advice on sites to buy stocks?

I've kept an account with Etrade since 1998. I've traded individual stocks over the years and lost a ton of money doing so.
I recently bought some CD's from them and just this week bought some ETF's (QQQQ's and Spyders). The ETF's are somewhat like mutual funds but you can trade them any time like stocks and they'll less volatile than dealing with individual stocks.
If you don't want to trade you can simply open an account with them and park your money in their savings account which currently pays 3.30 APY. You have immediate access to those funds for trading.
