Haven’t heard anything from Fidelity on going commission free. I’m thinking announcement on Wed. Anyone else wanna play? At stake is internet egg on your face!
I don’t like this reporting outfit but they inquired with Fidelity about going commission free on 10/2 and Fidelity just wanted to talk about how they have the best rates on their cash sweep funds. https://www.businessinsider.com/e-trade-eliminating-fees-following-charles-schwab-td-ameritrade-2019-10?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
Interesting how they open 10k accounts per day. That’s a stat I’d love to track once the next batch of ad wars kicks off.
My money is on no announcement (i.e. BAU). Same goes for Merrill Edge/Lynch.
Ibotta hello fresh daily deal? Is that a moneymaker?
https://www.cnbc.com/2019/09/26/interactive-brokers-unveils-service-offering-commission-free-trades.html
“The announcement pressured shares of rival retail brokerage firms TD Ameritrade, Charles Schwab and E-Trade Financial.”
https://www.fool.com/investing/2019/10/01/interactive-brokers-introduces-free-stock-trading.aspx
“Incidentally, a few days after IBKR’s announcement, national broker Charles Schwab (NYSE:SCHW) followed suit”.
IB introduced a new trading platform with 0 commissions to compete with babies like Robinhood, annoying but IB is like that and the general public isn’t really interested in that Broker anyway so everyone went back to their party the next day. Schwab went zero commission on their current trading platform and the party turned into a down 25% in one day puke fest. Schwab gets the credit here because IB didn’t go commission free on their normal trading platform.
