The main things to look out for when researching brokers:

1. Be skeptical if a source lists all brokers you have never heard before
2. Make sure the broker is registered with the proper authorities such as FINRA
3. Make sure you fully understand the fee structure of the broker
4. Look out for reliable customer service, quick order fills, good software that can run on your computer, and cheap fees/commissions
5. Is the source you are researching on getting paid for their recommendations and, if so, are they still giving an unbiased review?
