You can buy and sell stock with them.

I used Ameritrade with an investment club I was in years ago, when they first started... I believe they are now TD Ameritrade.. If I remember they started with a $5.99 buy and sell fee and required certain amount of time to get your portfolio worth to an average 2k to avoid monthly maintenance fees. They had the best deal at the time.

When the economy took the dive people in the club started getting out ... I was one of the last 3 to cash out... The clubs By-laws if a person wanted to cash out early, it would cost them 20% penalty ... I did not loose but really did not gain a lot due to the market and most stocks in the portfolio dropping ... I still track the clubs stocks on yahoo. They have still not returned to a gain .. Been about 10 years now ... No the club is no more and I do not do any online trading at this time..I know the fees for trades have increased since then ... Stocks would have to gain a decent percentage to cover them ..

Using one of these types of trading companies , You should be able to by pass the minimum requirement ( 15K I heard was the min.) to purchase FB Shares and only buy 1 share :marchmellow: :marchmellow: :marchmellow::marchmellow:

Are they the one' with ING.............saw something about 4.95 a trade ????

What types of trades do you make ??

 

[fishin-nole]

Yes it's with ING. They do have a promotion going for new clients. I just buy a few shares here and there when I have some disposable cash. Nothing big. I got the facebook because my wife wanted some and I wanted some new slicks. She won.
