Hello everyone,

I used to work for a financial services firm and still have my licenses.  I have since moved on to an unrelated job, but still have interest in the industry.  I would like to buy and sell stock for my personal account.  How should I go about doing this?  Is there a way, since I passed my 7 & 66, to avoid paying fees with services like etrade?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks....

Geez...you think eTrade is expensive?!!

Well as luck would have it, sounds like Bank of America just announced a FREE trading platform this morning that only requires a minimum acccount of $25,000 and no license required (you won't be able to keep your license beyond a two-year hiatus anyway, in case no one told you).  Go get it, big boy.

You won’t be trading much so pay the fee
