In the past few months, several brokers have been lowering their fees and today, Speed Trader has joined suit. Speed Trader previously offered many different commission options for investors including 3 different per share commissions and 4 different per trade commissions. Below is a summary of Speed Trader's old fees:



Speed Trader's more simplified and less expensive commission structure has 1 per share and 3 different per trade commission options. These prices are very competitive in both the per share and per trade areas. If you have been considering opening an account with speed trader, this definitely sweetens the deal.

Cobra Trading Adds Commission Mins Across The Board

Cobra Trading, an online stock broker that offers both per share and per trade commissions recently added a $1.00 minimum to all of their per share commission transactions. Although this may seem like a bad thing, every per share broker tracked on Bullishness.com with the exception of Light Speed has a minimum, and they all have higher minimums than Cobra Trading. Keep in mind that Cobra Trading still charges a monthly subscription fee for their per share trading which will offset this difference. As a financial service provider, their bottom line is made up from their fees, and they have to make money somehow.

For March 2010, the most popular online stock brokers on this site were as follows.

1. Think Or Swim (unchanged)
2. Just2Trade (unchanged)
3. Speed Trader (unchanged)
4. Share Builder (up 1 from last month)
5. Sogo Trade

Think Or Swim has been the most viewed broker on this site every month since December 2009. There seems to be quite a lot of traffic curious about that broker. Just2Trade and Speed Trader remained in the 2nd and 3rd spots respectively. Just2Trade is still a very obscure broker, and I think people just want to learn more about them.

Only Apple Could Get Away With Something Like This

I was on the Target website the other day looking for a charger attachment for my cellphone and happened across something that amazed me: an Apple USB Power Adapter for $29.99. I've been impressed by how Apple can sell their not so great white ear bud headphones for so much, when you can buy higher quality Sony ones for less money. No matter how you look at it, Apple definitely is in a great position as a business. If you're able to sell something like this for $29.99 and get away with it, you're doing something horribly right.
