Is ShareBuilder as screwed up as it seems?

Hello. Sharebuilder is an Okay account to have if you are not planning on doing a lot of trading. I think it was designed more or less to "save" up shares. Not all trading programs are set up the same. Sharebuilder is way to tuck away shares of stock over time. Ameritrade is designed more for someone that trades more actively and the fees are around 10 bucks and can be executed with a press of your 'enter' button. :welcome to the forums

I only do a couple of trades a month and Sharebuilder is perfect for me...you can also get them on the phone very easily if you need to. Call them.

Sharebuilder is great for what they do. But if you sell the stocks in the first year, it's a pain in the ass to do the paperwork for taxes because of the partial purchases.

Sharebuilder is great because it doesn't have alot of OTCBB stocks... which limits people from making ultra-risky buys. 8)

That is very true. Less potential to make a big mistake with "cheapn stocks" It works better as a savings type for stocks than trading.
