What do you pay for trades?
$10. I have a personal rule that I dont buy any stock unless it's at least $300 worth to compensate for the trade price. I actually bought $300 worth of PIR which is about 500 shares.
I use sharebuilder because it's linked to my ING savings accounts.
Can you buy any stock with sharebuilder? I thought sharebuilder was cheaper btw, like 6.99?
yes it's a full investment site, stocks, funds, whateva. It's $10 for real time trades, or you can schedule like bi-weekly/monthly purchases of a specific stock for $4. I have Schwab too, bit it's $12 a trade so I just use sharebuilder. I like it alot, very user friendly.
