Looking into investing, but the commission fees don’t make it any easier? Charles Schwab, and then Fidelity, are offering commission-free exchange traded funds (ETF) – funds that are traded in the stock exchange that mostly track indexes. With this new perk you’d be saving quite a bit. Charles Schwab usually charges a commission of $8.95 down from $12.95 earlier this year, and Fidelity charges a $7.95 commission for trading. You can save over 50% in trading costs, if you’re just a casual investor that is.
