As you may have read here, Sharebuilder is one of my favorite brokerage firms for long-term strategies because of their automatic investment program which allow for $4 trades. However, as mentioned in the article, they get you on the back-end with $9.95 real-time trades.
However, on Monday, November 30, they will be offering a 20% commission rebate on all $9.95 trades, which will give you $1.99 back for each trade. While this is still only gives an effective commission of $7.96. it is still a savings.
Furthermore, with the end of the year in sight, it is a great time to look at your portfolio and see if your investments are balances and focused where you need them to be. It is also a great time to think about tax implications. Made some great profits earlier this year, maybe sell a loser and offset those earlier capital gains?
Happy Thanksgiving!
