Zecco is an online brokerage that I have been using for the past year. The greatest thing about it: 10 Free trades a month, so long as you have $2000 in cash/stock in your account. I believe this is the only online brokerage that does this.

However, there is one downside to this brokerage. At...

Zecco equals zero in customer service and not in trade commissions. Since, I am cheap - I wanted to go with the most economical brokerage house. However, not too long ago they increased the minimum required balance to enjoy free trades to $25000 that I don't have. So, it is no more zero dollar trades... review »

Zecco offers perhaps the best value around. No other online broker that I've tested can match their trading prices. Beyond the trading fees, Zecco has a good registration process and an excellent trading engine. Charts and research tools are not as stellar but these drawbacks should not deter the bargain investor. Zecco is highly recommended.

Do NOT trade with Zecco.

The once overhyped discount online broker has, through sheer force of will, destroyed any positive advantage or goodwill said hype may have brought it in the past. As of March 1st, they are again raising the minimum requirement for their free trades from $2500 to $25,000. They now offer absolutely NO ADVANTAGE to ANY INVESTOR, and should be avoided.

I am a current customer, and will be getting out soon. I was sucked in by their "10 free trades for $2500 minimum balance" ad. But the shoddy platform and mediocre customer service cost me more than any free trade could... review »
