Suspending the Zecco Referral Bonus Sharing Program
2008-05-20 16:48:00 Original post on The Sun’s Financial Diary I started my own Zecco referral bonus sharing program back in December 2007 when Zecco relaunched its Zecco Friend program.

Zecco Share First Impressions
2008-02-18 13:32:00 I’ve been getting e-mails from Zecco lately talking up their investor Social Network called ZeccoShare. It sounded similar to the fantasy stock service that I use called the UpDown, so I had been dismissing it. However, I took a look at it this morning and was reasonably impressed. I’ve been intentionally ignoring my brokerage accounts, not because ...

Starting Trading Online! Try Zecco.com
2008-02-07 21:13:00 Recognize the symbols I just pasted. These are some of the top online firms for trading stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds, options, etc. out there. Zecco has this great strategy which is if you start an account for over $2,500 opening account balance you get a bunch of free trades each month... They make money from Google ads just like we do and it's just a great idea! Check them out. If not try TD Ameritrade. E*Trade I would be a little concerned about as it's kind of iffy as a result of the subprime mortgage products they used to sell, but either way, START INVESTING FOR YOURSELF.TD Ameritrade's slogan "Independence is what drives America's most successful investors."How true is this?!See the comparisons for commissions for Online Trading Websites (courtesy of Zecco.com):

Zecco Dividend Reinvestment: More of a Hassle than Convenience
2008-01-18 17:20:00 I knew Zecco offers free dividend reinvestment, the only problem is I don’t know how to set it up. When I logged into my account yesterday, I noticed that there’s a $20 dividend from my investment in Blackstone Group (BX) (not that I appreciate the money given how much the stock has dropped since it’s IPO). ...

Zecco Adds Historical Performance and Tax Analysis

Zecco Review: 3 and 4 Legged Options Available
2007-10-29 12:29:00 I just received an e-mail from Zecco and they have apparently released the ability to trade 3 and 4 legged Options.

Zecco is no longer free, will it survive?
2007-10-09 04:53:00 Things are not going well for Zecco, an online stock brokerage that launched last year with an innovative free trades concept. At least not well enough to use the original idea as a sustainable business model.

Zecco Needs to Hire a Marketing Team and Why I Use ETrade Financial
2007-10-03 17:23:00 Zecco is changing the rules of its $0 trade program… Again. However, this time it is pretty dramatic. Here are the details. • 40 free trades a month / 10 per day -> 10 free trades a month • Additional trades at $3.50 -> $4.50 • Account minimum from $0 -> $2,500 (having an account with less than $2,500 equals having to spend $4.50 per trade) Just like Sun from The Sun’s Financial Diary, I feel that Zecco just does not know what it wants to do. It’s as if they are a new born child just trying to feel their way into the world. I just hope that they don’t piss off their customers so everyone just cancels their account. Just like every company, Zecco needs a marketing director that can give the company some much needed direction. It needs to figure out what it is good at and which part of the market it wants to penetrate first. Once they have that figured out, then all these detailed decisions can come easier, as opposed to changing rules every month or two and eve...

Zecco Scales Back Free Trading Offer
2007-10-02 16:57:00 It seems to me that Zecco doesn’t have a clear plan on how to run their business. First, they asked a ton of paperwork to open an account, then ran a promotion with a lowered minimum requirement that didn’t want anybody to know, shortly after the secret promotion, they decided to get rid of all the paperwork for good and went even further to eliminate the minimum. It finally became a true free trading account. At one time when I called them with questions about my account, I was told they were flooded by new applications. I guess they must be either exhausted by the processing or overwhelmed by customer calls that they don’t want it any more because, less then three months after the elimination of minimum, they reversed course and reinstall the $2,500 account minimum and scaled back monthly free trading offers from 40 per to 10 (details can be found on their website). Beginning next year, each qualified Zecco Trading account will get 10 free stock trades per month....
Zecco Review: Zecco Reduces Free Trades

Zecco IS Cheap
2007-05-30 17:45:00 No, I am not talking about their commission free trading.

For example, when I opened my last two savings accounts at IGoBanking ...
