I pay only about $7-8 per trade with Scottie... How can you reduce that by $10?

SCOTTSTRADE FINE PRINT: "For stocks priced under $1, add 1/2% of the principal value to the commissions shown."

$2,000 = $10 + $7
$10,000 = $50 + $7

TDAmeritrade, ftw.

$2,000 = $9.99
$10,000 = $9.99

Talk about a scam! If Scottrade was legit, they'd show it in big print, not fine print, in a 4pt font!!

Heck, even Etrade is cheaper than Scottstrade.

May your trading build your character as well as your portfolio.

I don't know about you but i clearly see the "Stocks under $1 are just $7 + 1/2% of principal." Just about everywhere it says Online trades are $7.
