Comments on: Fidelity Drops Trade Commission Price to $7.95 http://www.mymoneyblog.com/fidelity-drops-trade-commission-price-to-795.html Personal Finance and Investing Blog Sun, 12 Feb 2012 01:43:13 +0000 hourly 1 By: Guzzo http://www.mymoneyblog.com/fidelity-drops-trade-commission-price-to-795.html#comment-145103 Guzzo Sat, 13 Feb 2010 16:26:16 +0000 http://www.mymoneyblog.com/?p=6635#comment-145103 This sounds like a pretty enticing deal, especially since I use the more expensive VBS. But the experienced cynic in me wonders if this a bait-and-switch scheme instituted in order to boost their cash reserves during this recessionary period? I wonder what will happen when things eventually improve? I've seen Fidelity change their fee structure at a moments notice. Thanks though, I'll take a closer look.

I picked Options House over Zecco for the free MaxIt and cheap options trades. (Used to be flat, but 15 cents per contract is not so bad either.) Well, that and Options House seemed a little better assembled, with better customer support. Sorry, didn't mean to pump OH in an article about Fidelity. It seems like Fidelity is always late to the game. They took forever to have index funds, and $7.95 is okay but not great, and not going to make me switch.
