Buy Foreign Stocks: E*Trade vs. Fidelity
When E*Trade launched its global trading platform in 2007, I saw it as an opportunity to finally be able to buy some internationals stocks that are not otherwise available to retail investors in the U.S. At that time, Chinese stocks were as hot as they could be and buying Chinese stocks seemed to be the [...]
How to Open an OptionHouse Account
As you may know, discount broker OptionsHouse is currently running a promotion which gives 100 commission free trades for every new customer with $3,000 deposit. This is a good deal if you can get the most out of the offer, even though trading 100 times in 2 months (the free trades will expire 60 days [...]
Firstrade Trading Platform Review
Early last week, I took a look at Scottrade trading platform because it’s the broker that I use the most for stock trading (not that I trade a lot). As you know, Scottrade isn’t my only stock broker. In fact, it is one of many brokerage accounts I own. Another *old* account I have is [...]
OptionsHouse Promotion Code for 100 Free Trades
OptionsHouse is one of the discount brokers that I have an account with.
I opened the account in June when I found that it charges only $2.95 per stock trade, much less than other brokers I use (Zecco offers free trade, but the requirement is rather high for small investors). However, it disappointed me when I [...]
Transfer Fund to Scottrade Brokerage Account Is Easy
The stock is down pretty badly so far today. For some investors, this is an opportunity to buy stocks at a better price, given that the market was down four out of the six trading sessions. Suppose that you see a stock that you have wanted to buy and today it finally reaches the price [...]

One of the online discount stock brokers I use very actively is Scottrade. When I first selected Scottrade as my broker 7 years, I didn’t not much about it other [...]
This Is Why I Trade with Scottrade
I write about Scottrade quite often here for a couple of reasons:
I have most of our investments with Scottrade, including regular brokerage account and IRA accounts;
I am happy with their customer service.
Usually customer service doesn’t play a big role when I select a bank or a broker (it wasn’t a factor when I decided to [...]
Trade Gold and Silver with Zecco
Online discount broker Zecco Trading keeps rolling out new service.
Early this year, Zecco introduced Zecco Forex Trading, a platform that allows Zecco customers to trade foreign exchanges. Now you can even buy gold and silver if you are interested in investing in precious metal, right from the Forex platform.
Gold has crossed the $1,000/ounce mark again [...]

OptionsHouse Dropped $100 Cash Reserve Requirement for Making a Trade
I am not sure what role, if any, I had in this, but I was just informed by Shannon Paul, the Communications Manager of PEAK6 Online, the parent company of OptionsHouse, that the discount online broker has dropped the $100 cash reserve requirement (that’s different than account minimum, which is $1,000 to open an account) [...]
