I didn't find this posted yet.

On ESPN today, Sharebuilder had a new account special commercial. The commercial said it was only available at this website:

www.sharebuilder.com/tv


Here is the fine print:

You must open a new ShareBuilder Account and invest at least $50 to receive this offer. The $50 credit will post to your account approximately 4 weeks after you have invested at least $50. Not valid with IRA or Education Savings Accounts. Not valid with any other offers. Valid only for first time account holders with ShareBuilder. One per household only. ShareBuilder reserves the right to terminate this offer at any time and to refuse or recover any promotion award if ShareBuilder determines that it was obtained under wrongful or fraudulent circumstances, that inaccurate or incomplete information was provided in opening the account, or that any term of ShareBuilder's Account Agreement or these promotion terms have been violated. Offer expires 3/31/08.

I've been thinking about starting a sharebuilder account, so this will work for me. Covers a few months of automatic investing!

Is this hard inquiry, soft inquiry or no inquiry?

I asked them this question, and the CSR replied that they do a soft inquiry to verify identity. She specifically said that they don't do hard inquiries. YMMV.

I was going to post the following as a new topic but decided not to because whenever I post anything new, all I get is red. Since this thread is about Sharebuilder, I'll post it here and see what happens.

Now that savings and CD rates are lower, I was thinking about opening up a sharebuilder account. Bank rates of just 4.5% or lower don't excite me. I don't know anything about stocks.

From what I can see on Sharebuilder, there is a cost both when you buy and when you sell. This can get pretty expensive unless you invest enough money AND get enough return to offset these costs. It's almost like you can do just as well with a 4.5% insured bank return. Anyone have thoughts? Go ahead and give me red.

Better returns are available if you have a Costco membership. 90$ for executive members. Also a very lengthy thread re: sharebuilder is available on this forum.
