Does selling a stock i own constitute a trade? will it incur a trade fee ?
Question:
Answer:
Yes. Every time you buy, it is a trade. Every time you sell, it is a trade. That's why it isn't smart to be buying and selling every month. That's why the 'buy and hold' strategy has been so successful for so long. That's why people don't buy shares in little 10-share blocks. Normally, smart investors buy 100's of shares at once, then hold them for years at a time before they sell.
A trade is buying or selling.
yeah it will be every trade. be careful with little things like that. but really if your trading on a big enough scale $7 isnt a lot of money
Yes, my best advice is try NOT to use a broker... they add extra fees.
Most brokers will charge a commission for both buying and selling. Many have identical fees for both, but some having fees that are different for buying and selling; usually those have lower fees for buying to encourage people to buy more and sell less so that they can build their portfolio. Generally, the brokers with lower fees for buying are building their business around entry-level investors and help them save money as they build their portfolio.
yes, any order you place, buy or sell you will be charged a comission for the transaction.Use scottrades education center to better understand what that means , and look at their comission schedule to see what they charge for online and broker assisted transactions
yes - each purchase and each sale counts as a trade - lot of people don't factor both commisions into their computations
