Is anyone using Sharebuilder?

[EUROBORA8V]

I do realize that it is not the best brokerage account but it seems to be very convenient. I always liked ING so i decided to open one up. Did not do any trades as of yet. Can someone share their experience? I do realize that you do research before opening an account but i am just trying to get things to watch out ahead of the game.

Your input please

it can be ok if you just want something to set and forget with automatic investments... but the trading costs, though low at $4/auto trade, can really add up unless your automatic investment amounts are reasonably large.

I use it and have no complaints.

The primary factor for me using SB is that I do my banking with ING -- it's easy to just have everything consolidated. As long as you're wise about how/when you invest (set up investments ahead of time for Tuesdays) then you'll be fine.

I use sharebuilder.

the trades aren't the cheapest, but I use it mostly just to throw money into my retirement accounts. As long as I'm making trades where the fee is less than 1% it doesn't bother me

So far so good. It is a very useful tool in certain situations.

if thats the case, why not just use etrade, tons of funds there have no purchase fees
