Friday Linking – Stock Trading Edition
Today, instead of having a generalized personal finance linking session, I thought that i'd specialize the theme to stock trading. I don't talk a lot about stock trading on this blog, but I think I may start writing about it a bit more. Here are some stock trading info that I found this week.
- Interactive Brokers has reduced their minimum commissions for Canadian trades from $2/trade (200 shares) to $1/trade (100 shares). Great news for small time traders like me. Check out how this new fee schedule can affect the 1% stock trading rule.
- Stock Trading To Go has written an article on Day Trading Basics and Strategy.
- Canadian Capitalist has written a review of TD Waterhouse.
- Investoid discusses MoneySense Equities Worth Reviewing and 5 Rules for Traders.
- Financial Jungle explains How to Avoid Shady Income Trusts.
- Chris Perruna tells his readers to Learn to Focus When Investing.

Interactive Brokers may be good for the higher volume trader or more active trader, but it’s just not that well suited for the small person or the person who is trying to accumulate their fortune say $100/mo or so.
If you can open with $2500, http://www.sogoinvest.com offers $3 trades.
For non minimum accounts, try http://www.tradeking.com which features $4.95 traders with no minimums.
The advantages to SoGo and TradeKing as opposed to ShareBuilder and BuyAndHold.com is that they offer real time trades and pretty much full service brokerage for about the same rates as those guys.
