That’s a sweet deal Flu! But there’s no free lunch in this world… there must be something that WF gets out of this.[/quote]
The fee is higher than other places once you run through your free trades. With $25K PMA package you get 100 free trades/year and pay $20/trade after that. And I don’t think you can use free trades on penny stock.[/quote]
*Edit*
Oops I meant 100 free trades. Extra zero. I have more than one account that’s part of PMA in there (different title and ownership)…heh heh.. I also have 5 schwab account and I’ve been grandfathered with some free trades…
The gotcha is if you do penny stocks or options, they aren’t free. Also, in the case of schwab, AH and pre market trading was excluded. And supposedly the execution on wells isn’t that great. (I haven’t noticed though). You can’t get the free trades at schwab anyway. What happened was awhile back I was sort of pissed at schwab and was going to move elsewhere (ameritrade I think. Schwab gave me a few concessions)
The commission rates of wells fargo after that is $8.95, which is the same as Schwab. Wells Fargo Advisors, however, have the nice(r) setup that Schwab does. Not that I particularly use it.
[quote=flu]Hang on… QC just fell through $63 and is at $62.60… It looks like it’s in freefall, need to decide what to do on my last position…[/quote]
never mind… bought to close.
I can’t help to think that we are in trouble when the president says that free trade with south America will enable us to sell more Ipad/Iphones,
I guess our whole economy is based on upselling the next generation ipad.
although there are hidden costs to being married, i think you save money overall. also, men will live slightly longer, probably because their wives will bug them to go to the doctor until they do so when they feel that giant tumor on their husband’s back. probably worth the 500,000 tax break.
sure you have the cost of kids that often come with marriage, but frankly, i probably wouldn’t be able to keep a steady job if i didn’t have a family. i doubt i’d get out of bed every morning. so the financial benefits outweigh the costs, for me…
