really want to switch to a place that give some free trades anyone got a good reccomendation sharebuilder charges is too much, i paid 8 every trade and 12 for premium
Hi folks - doesn't look like this thread has had any activity for quite some time. Sorry to resurrect the dead.
I just opened a Sharebuilder account with ING. I'm not looking to trade, but to build wealth long-term. My goal is to put aside $100 each pay period (bi-weekly). You can set up automatic investments for $4 each, or pay $12/month and get 12 automatic investments. I understand the math and the value of going for the $12/mo deal.
My question to you wise ones is this - is it worth spending $12 on $200 worth of investments each month (6% commission). It would enable me to purchase increments of up to 12 stocks each month. Or is it a better strategy to pay only $4 and plop the whole $200 into only one stock each month? Opinions welcome.

Nothing is free so take the $12/month but buy only dividend paying stocks and you'll be even before you realize it. Dividend reinvestments are free and pay every three months - good luck in building your base. You'll be pleasantly surprised how fast your stocks will grow.
Law87,
You can get 30 free trades with Merrill Edge online per month but you'd have to put up $25K on the Bank of America banking side - I'm starting to build that now that we've had a 100% increase in the SPX.
#1, you can do a google search for the stock ticker symbol youre interested in knowing about + the word "dividend" (IE: "DIS dividend") usually gives you a few leads..... http://www.dividend.com/ is usually one of the first results, but you may prefer other sites.
S.E. Cupp has my vote!
Look for Div/Yield. Google has a stock screener where you can select the range for the Div/Yield of stocks. Try the stock symbol KO as an example.
Value Line can also give you stats on dividend paying stock.
Here is more info on where to find dividend paying stocks.
