I'm very happy with the service. I have over 25K combined between a CD, Roth IRA, and taxable stock account so I am qualified for free stock trades. I get 100 free trades a year for my Roth IRA, and, another 100 free trades for my taxable account. I also just received complete documentation in the mail for the 2009 tax year. Customer service is very good. When I call I am quickly connected to a person. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend WellsTrade. 402510 2009-11-12T18:27:47-08:00 mark aj, just check the Terms Of Service if it doesn't say "Must be a U.S. resident" or something similar to that, then your good to open an account with them. when your signing up it will ask you where you live anyway so i dont think it really matters 402480 2009-10-21T08:29:27-07:00 siddharth i am using reliance money and for me the trading has been superfluous. 402430 2009-10-10T18:40:34-07:00 a.jose garcia Caracas Venezuela october 10th 2009 Sirs: I need ASAP open a new on line deep discount account for foreigners in options trade WB8 included with only US $ 2,000.

Rellay appreciate you. aj garcia 402500 2009-09-29T01:42:55-07:00 John DeFlumeri Jr You mentioned all the right ones, and yes, the commissions and fees can bury a person. 402420 2009-09-23T00:55:38-07:00 Cheap Trader So called discount brokers like Fidelity, Muriel Siebert, and Charles Schwab may get bonus brownie points from online reviews by Kiplinger's, Barron's, and Smart Money magazine, but frankly, their commissions and fees are not really worthy of the title as "discount brokerages". Sure their online tools, customer service, and research materials are decent, but they aren't cheap. 402410 2009-09-22T14:20:19-07:00 Jim Based on what I know, Wells Fargo's brokerage unit - WellsTrade also apparently offers free stock trades if you've got at least $25,000 in Wells Fargo accounts combined. If you have that much in the way of balances, you get 100 free trades a year! Rich folks always seem to get the best brokerage perks when it's poorer people like us who actually need them the most. Someone might want to confirm this but that's my belief. 402490 2009-09-22T10:23:04-07:00 mewithoutdebt For Optionshouse you said "there are no monthly minimum balance requirements", it just happens that you need at least $1000 to open the account. Are you sure you can lower the balance after that? 402470 2009-09-20T22:57:31-07:00 anyfees Do you get free paper statements for trade confirmations and quarterly reports for free (no fee) for all these brokerage houses?
