  • Ehhh, I like the site and am a user but your comments are far, far too rosy.

    They hood winked a lot of users by consistently scaling back their number of free trades and retroactively implementing a minimum balance requirement. That really hurt the small investors that had been taking advantage of their ill thought out business model. Frankly it was an embarrassing lack of foresight on their behalf by not anticipating the type of high volume, low balance investors that would become avid users.

    That being said, I like the site quite a bit. They have enhanced a number of features and the community is growing. I was asked to become ac community rep and at the time declined, but since then the site has really improved in terms of organization and "cleanness."

    The reality of the community isn't quite as great as you might think. The forums are somewhat useful but they lack the type of insight you can find at investors village, for example. The networking aspect should improve and I have interacted with others via the site and actually considered new trades based on their recommendations.

    To summarize I like the company but I was very displeased with the consistent bait and switches they pulled on the community. If those are in the past I think they might have a future in an INCREDIBLY competitive industry.
  • Well we live in a stock trading era, what could we expect? More and more people realize the great perspectives of the online stock trading, and when the business is handled right, we can only expect for success.

  • I researched Zecco as well and i put my money
    it it to really check it out and decided it
    was a bait and switch. It took over a month
    before I could take my money out, so before
    you decide to deposit money remember this
    old saying (If It Sounds Too Good To Be True
    -thats right) so I took a good advice and
    signed up with scottrade.com and got 3 free
    trades with this promo code: YWEU0574
  • Beyond the trading fees, Zecco has a good registration process and an excellent trading engine. ...
  • Smith said Zecco can afford to offer zero-commission trading because it plans to earn its revenue elsewhere, and because it won't ...
