Zecco has free stock trades and no minimum balance

Do I need to say anymore?

I posted about Zecco.com a few months ago in this post. Apparently they lowered their[tag] minimum balance[/tag] from $2500 to $0 since I last posted about them.

What is the catch? For most people there isn’t one. They give you up to 10 [tag]free stock trades[/tag] a day or 40 per month. Anything over that is $3.50 per trade (which is still a steal). I found out that they make the majority of their revenue from options trading and interest on uninvested balances.

I just opened an account with them and I am still in the process of transferring my stocks over. I will post if I have any negative issues with them.

I got that e-mail as well. Zecco is pushing hard to make a dent in the low cost brokerage market.

I thought about moving my stocks over from TradeKing, but just finished transferring from ShareBuilder so I opened a brand new account instead.

Now I can gamble a bit more on the speculative stocks without feeling the commission eat up my gains. It’s very weird to trade/invest w/o the burden of commissions.

Are we witnessing an industry trend?

yea, that is the great thing about free trades - it really boosts potential profits for smaller investors. I am also looking forward to seeing what happens now that stock trades have become commodities.
