zecco review updated

Hi all,

We have updated the review section of Zecco, in addition to our award-winning ranking board. Reviews for other broker would follow.

Zecco

www.Zecco.com

Introduction

“Zecco stands for Zero Cost Commission and that’s exactly what this new online discount broker is trying to do with their innovative set up.”

“Zecco Trading has reconstructed the mold of trading online with traditional web brokerages, making it easier than ever for you to get smart and act smart with your money. Need to buy stock or sell stock, interested in penny stocks? With Zecco Trading, you get 10 free online stock trades each month with $2,500 or more. Otherwise, it’s only $4.50 per stock trade.”

What is Zecco?
“At Zecco.com, users are offered the groundbreaking financial social networking community ZeccoShare, as well as powerful market data and analysis tools. “

“Zecco Trading, Inc., member FINRA / SIPC, is a wholly owned subsidiary of Zecco Holdings, Inc. It is leading the free stock trading revolution. Zecco Trading offers brokerage customers with over $2,500 in assets 10 free stock trades per month. And for those with less than $2,500, stock trades are just $4.50 each. “

“So, think of Zecco as a full package upgrade to the typical online investing routine. All in one place, supercharged and ready to go on Zecco.com. “

Explore the ZeccoShare Community
“It all started with a complete re-think of the industry and a dedication to a streamlined business model that cuts out the unnecessary overhead and fat.

The profound consequence of this logic means we must continually work to prove our worth and seek out ways to grow and innovate our offering. “

 “Zecco’s social networking aspect is pretty cool; members can interact with each other via ZeccoShare, a service that combines Web 2.0 fare like forums, blogs, and profiles with key investor information like most popular stock holdings and most traded stock holdings of investors who have opted to share their investment data. “ – http://moneysmartlife.com/zecco-review-free-online-stock-trading/

“Fee schedule. Let’s start off with Zecco’s most attractive feature – free trades. Zecco offers all customers 10 free equity trades (stock or ETFs) per month as long as they maintain a minimum balance of $2,500 or more in their Zecco Account. Additional equity trades cost $4.50 each. Options trades cost $4.50 per trade + $0.50 per contract and mutual fund trades cost $10 each. There are no account minimums or inactivity fess to worry about.” More information about Zecco’s fees (Learn more about Zecco ).

How can Zecco offer free trades? Zecco is able to offer free trades because they make money on normally priced trades, options contracts, premium services (see below), and interest on cash that waiting to be invested. They offer some of the lowest rates among major discount brokerages and they are still able to make money – sounds like a winning combination!

Transferring money. You can fund your Zecco account with a check, via a money transfer, or with an ACH transaction. The easiest and cheapest option is an ACH transaction, which is how I chose to fund my account. ACH transactions are free and can be scheduled in advance, so they are the most flexible option. Keep in mind that ACH transactions take a few days to go through. Zecco advertises 2-3 day ACH transactions, but my transfer took 4 days to go through. That’s not a deal breaker in my book, but it is something to keep in mind. Zecco may also place a hold on your transfer while they verify it has cleared. This is common among some brokerages, so keep this in mind when planning your transactions.

Investment research. Zecco provides investors free access to investment research from Standard and Poor’s and a variety of free tools such as an options calculator and options analytics. There are also premium services available for those who are willing to pay for them.

Zecco learning center. Zecco has a host of stock trading and research and analysis tools. However, quite a few of these research and analysis tools are only available for a monthly or annual fee.

Premium investing tools. If you are a day trader, you will want a tax planning tool to help you make the best decisions regarding which shares to sell for the highest tax efficiency. Zecco has the Gainskeeper tool for just this purpose, which is free for the first 2 months, then $24.99 every 6 months after that. While some people may scoff at the idea of paying $50 a year for a tool offered for free at some other discount brokerages, the cost averages out to roughly the cost of one trade per month at those same brokerages. So if you are active trader, you will more than come out ahead due to the 10 free trades you will receive monthly.

Account records. Zecco keeps their costs down by automatically enrolling you in e-statements. You can receive paper statements for a fee.

I think Zecco is a quality trading platform, which certainly can’t be beat for the price. Zecco is a flexible brokerage and will meet the needs of many different types of investors – from the investor who buys and holds ETFs (such as myself) to the day trader who makes dozens of trades in a month. The biggest complaint that some people have is the additional expense of certain premium tools. But in my opinion, if you are trading often enough to need those tools, you are most likely saving a lot more money based on the average trade commission with Zecco compared to the average trade at another brokerage.”- http://cashmoneylife.com/2009/01/21/zecco-discount-brokerage-review/

General Motor, Ford and Chrysler

Can you imagine that those big three are going to bankrupt? Well, situation now is if the US goverment doesn’t help them and nationalize them, there is no chance for them to live til next summer.

Problem of all those consumer good producer is the finance system they use. As long as credit market stay tense in the near future, the funding sources and consumer borrowing capacity will all shrink and remain very weak!

This is not gonna be fixed in the short term.

For other companies like Lowe’s, Home Deposit, Target, Best Buy, …………………………. story is the same!

Only one way can change the whole picture: let US consumer save more and borrow less. This is the matter of habitude, not ability.

totally messed up by euro

surprisingly still mixed in the triangle, euro looks like walking on the edge of breaking in one way. Bias is still going downside, but stock market has potential of strong rebound before dip down to the next big figures 6000.

as to euro, i exited my trade and took some loss.

i changed my view on eurusd

triangle broken down on last thursday, but it is highly correlated to stock markets.

DJI looks have potential to rebound from here to retest the upper resistence near 10000-10500.

Euro may finish with wave 5 structure. I have to say I hate count waves!

keep your positions as small as possible. go long eurjpy for a rebound to 128. small positions!

stock ticker/company name auto-suggestion box ready!

now you can search a stock more easily with our suggestion box.

go on search anything you want @ Tickerpedia stock

Eur has broken down the triangle, now what?

Eur has been forming a continuation triangle pattern for a possible wave 4 of “something”. I don’t like to recognize the wave very previsely, because everything happening in market will change the wave counting. In other words, waves are interactive with news and market reactions.

As eur just broke the level as I expected in the last post, I made 10% profit for my account.  It really looks good if you can still hold the position to 1.2200 for the first target. However, since stock market is still very sensitive. I cut my position to 1/4.

Hey, guys, our new forex features are on the way!
