I recently mentioned Zecco to a coworker because of the free trades and barely a week after, they pretty much rescinded their offer. Good thing I took my time to look over my options since there were so much negative reviews about the site. I was of the opinion that one can't expect good service, or even any service when there is no fee, but it was still enough of a deterrence. This new development means that Zecco is out of the running since I only plan to open an account with $500 at most and their fee for account less than $2,500 is the same as Tradeking's. At least at Tradeking, the fees are transparent and they have better reviews.

On a side note, September finance is terrible.

After numerous tries, I've finally learn how to use Money Manager Ex properly. Before, I just have checking and saving on there while I charge everything on CC so it was hard trying to see where all my money goes. But now that I added CC as an account with mostly negative balance, I can track my spending better.
