　　Standard Brokerage Account: This account allows you to buy and sell a variety of investments such as stocks, bonds, and ETFs without contribution limits or penalties for withdrawals. It provides flexibility in managing your investments.
　　Joint Brokerage Account: Ideal for two or more individuals, this account allows you to pool investments with family members or partners. There are different types, including:

Joint Tenants with Rights of Survivorship: Both owners have equal rights, and the surviving owner inherits the account upon the others death.
Tenants in Common: No right of survivorship; the deceased's share goes to their estate.

　　Margin Account: This account allows you to borrow money from the broker to purchase more securities than you could with just your own funds, increasing both potential gains and risks.
