ShareBuilder

I did once, and they blow.

the way they are set up is that you can do a "real-time" trade at any time for like $20, or you can set up a transaction to be executed at a specified time the following week. THAT is the transaction that is $4. And if you want to sell at all, you're stuck with the "real time" trade.

Col must've used them early on.

He is correct that the advertised cheaper trades are limited only to Tuesdays. What you do is set up an "automatic investment" in whatever stocks you wish to purchase, and your trades are done on Tuesdays. You can do this as often or as little as you wish.

Real-time trades are $9.95...so, while not "cheap", they aren't nearly as expensive as they first were.

I would say it's not a good site at all for a trader, but if you intend to slowly invest a little bit at a time it works well. I have an account with them.

I've had a Sharebuilder account for over 2 years, and I really like it.

thanks...I am bout to sign up at tradeking now...
