DTEJD1997 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hey all: I've got a family who has a rather substantial investment portfolio. He is a self directed investor. He does not trade very often. Most years he makes a few trades....no trades the last year or so... Anyway, he uses various discount brokers and the last 3 years he has NEGATIVE costs for trading! He recently received $5k to move his two accounts to Scottrade AND got 250 free trades. Of course, he will never need anywhere near 250 free trades. He would probably be content with 10 free trades! He has done this 3 times now and his costs for trading were silly low before, something like .00015 of assets under management. Now, he gets paid to move his accounts and gets free trades. So no fee for the little bit of trading that he does, and the brokers pay him for the privilege! Anybody else doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamecock-YT Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Merrill Edge gives you free trades if you are a Platinum or Platnium Honors rewards member with BOA. I think it requires >$50K in assets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
