Stock Investments

Whether you're new to investing online or an experienced active trader, Scottrade brokerage offers easy-to-use stock trading tools at affordable prices.

You can now trade stocks online – market and limit orders – for just $7! Yes, that's right, just $7 for market AND limit orders on Listed and NASDAQ stocks no matter how many shares you trade! (Note: To qualify for these low online trading commissions, at least 75% of your stock trades must be entered via www.scottrade.com. NASDAQ, OTC and listed stocks priced under $1 are just $7 plus 0.5% principal. All money and stock must be in the account before trades can be accepted).

More important, you can open an account with a low minimum investment! You only need $500 ($2,000 for a margin account) to open an online trading account. You may fund your account with a check or securities, or simply use our trading account transfer form to move assets from another brokerage firm to Scottrade.

Even with such a low price on trades, you'll also receive real-time stock market research and news, access to a personal stock broker and Scottrade's free customizable trading platform, Scottrader.

Compare the other discount brokerage firms on the Web – you'll be hard pressed to find another company that can match Scottrade's low rates and superior customer service. If you're ready to begin investing online, sign up now or talk with a personal stock broker.
