Free online trades and a donation to autism research
I like to dabble in inexpensive stocks when we have extra cash, and I was happy to find out about a new online trading site called Zecco which offers up to 40 trades each month at no cost. That means I can buy tiny amounts of things like penny stocks (for example, I can buy 100 shares of POPN for $1), and not have to pay at least a $10 transaction fee. I opened my account last week and was approved within 24 hours, but I haven’t made any trades yet as I’m still waiting to hook up my bank account for ACH transfers. I think the site looks good, though, and I enjoy the extra content like the blogs and forums.
I’m posting about it because if I refer any new members to the site before the end of October, Zecco.com will make a $50 donation to the Autism Society of America. I know that’s a cause which is close to many people online, and seeing as it’s free to open an account (and you’re under no obligation to trade), I thought I should mention it. $50 is a lot of money (it’s 5000 shares of POPN!), so if you’ve considered doing any online trading (or just want to try a new service), I encourage you to sign up. I don’t receive anything for posting the link so I’ve got no other motive than helping someone else with fundraising.
