Zecco is Offering 20 Free Trades
You may know that I tend to focus on long-term investing through index funds and ETFs, but I also like to do a little trading on the side. For obvious reasons, any trading is done with non-essential assets and won’t negatively impact my retirement if I make a few trades. With that being said, one of the biggest problems with trading individual stocks are the commissions. The more you trade, usually the more you pay.
One way I’ve found to keep my trading costs low was to use Zecco for my stock trading. Zecco already offers 10 free stock trades a month and otherwise very low trading costs, but for a limited time they are offering new customers 20 free stock trades in addition to the rest of their account features!
This has been a great tool for me this year because I’ve been buying a lot of quality stocks in the past few months and have made some nice money on the recovery. I’ve had good luck with a few companies such as GE, INTC, and ABT. In fact, some of those proceeds will be covering some of the down payment on our new house. We didn’t plan on that, but I’ll happily take my profits and run while I can. But thanks to Zecco there is even more money in my pocket since I’m not handing it over for trading fees.
Promo Details
Zecco Trading is offering 20 free stock trades — a $90 value — to all new brokerage customers who sign up by Sunday, September 13th 2009! Use promo code “bonus1” to qualify.
These free stock trades are special, because you have a whole 90 days to use them. Some other brokerages give you free equity trades to use within 30 days of signing up, so by the time you transfer money into your account, the free stock trades might have expired! With Zecco Trading, you have more time to use your free stock trades when it makes sense to trade.
Plus, these trades are completely additional to the 10 free stock trades Zecco Trading customers can earn every month when they keep a balance of $25,000 or make 25 free trades per month. And stock trading commissions at Zecco Trading are a low $4.50 each.
Be sure to use the promotion code “bonus1” when signing up. Be sure to use all lowercase or the code won’t work.
