About to open a Scottrade.com account

Putting $500 in to start (scottrade min), and make maybe 1 trade every month, if that.

good idea? is there another broker I should consider?
 
All I know about Scottrade is that they have a local office and they charge $32 a trade. I had to deal with them once.

Other then that, I have no idea about stock broker firms.
 
$32? It says $7 a trade on their website. anybody want to refer me? It seems as though I get 3 free trades if I sign up saying someone refered me. I need a referal code? 😕

welp someone is going to mail me an application.. guess I don't need it just yet.
 
He probably means that it's 32 dollars to execute a trade with a local broker, the $7 quote is on transactions that are placed online.
 
so anybody want to give me a referal code? Seems like I need one to get 3 free trades (read it on skinnypurse)

I will. 🙂


It's 22 bucks if you were to execute through your broker and not the site. 12 dollars for any trades on stocks below 1 dollar and 7 bucks for anything above 1 dollar.

Let me get the code. 🙂
 
So how do you know what your referral code is anyway? I couldn't find anything on Scottrade's website. Is it just your account #?

I remembered referring once. I don't remember where. I'm still looking for it. 🙂
 
Yah, and let us know how you found it if you don't mind. And if you already have an account with them, does anyone know if you can refer yourself?
