Thanks for the info - I was teetering toward getting it anyway and now I know about the apex thing - it seems worth it. I don't trade a bunch each month - but 0 a month is a definite yes. If I can get into this a bit more - I want to start learning everything I can.... and learning more on the fundamentals... which will be far easier with the tools in TDA. Now if SIRI would just go up to 0.00 I would already be covering the 00 dollar fee for ....... a very long long time....... Anyone recommend a good starter stock to play with day trading?? Bill? Mogami? Rel? Brandon? or is the market to out of whack to go that route yet... I am pretty decent so far at picking companies that are super undervalued and going long-term - I want to step it up a notch and play mid- and short-term.... Luckily I'm balancing out my high risk tendencies with some bonds..... then again - what do you expect.... I jump out of planes.....
