Zecco Stock Brokerage and Free online trading

If you have done your due diligence on Zecco.com and are ready to sign up with them, THEN EMAIL me at naridon@yahoo.com before signing up . I will refer you and also tell you about the cut.

This is not endorsed by Zecco, I am just doing it as a goodwill measure for a short time only. This offer might removed from this site anytime if Zecco pulls out of the underlying referral promotion (through which I hope to fund this reward, hehe)


Zecco, the discount online stock broker that offers "10 free trades/month" if you maintain $25000 or more in equity

Stock trading is risky business, the capital is yours and at RISK. Invest only money that you can lose. Take profits easily, cut losses even more easily.
You yourself are responsbile for your money and investment decisions, no body else is the world is responsible for that, including OPEC, Obama, Putin, Pelosi or Palin. I decided to ignore other key names in politics because they don't start with O or P. Also if you join Zecco you are doing so at your own responsilbility and aware of stock market risks as well as the fact that nothing is risk free in today's world. So this is not a forceful recommendation, merely posting some news that I saw about Zecco. Best of luck.

AIG Dealings Continue

So the AIG saga is not done yet. With some deft political manoeuvrings, Maurice "Hank" Greenberg is trying to get a sweeter deal for AIG's lifeline from the govt. AIG and its shareholders are trying to get a share of the $700 billion fed money.
This news report from CNN.COM covers the issue in more detail.

To get their share of the bailout money, there has been speculation that AIG was using some of the $85 billion money to continue its lobbying. Of course, AIG officials said they are not using Fed money to lobby. But if they have other money available to do stuff like lobbying, why are they asking for bailout money to begin with. Can somebody please explain this to me? (it is a rhetorical question, do not waste your energy trying explain, there is nothing to be explained there. Chill out.)

AIG common stock definitely jumped up well on Thursday evening and Friday, because as we all know, some people usually get the news before it comes in the newspapers.

Earn Miles Free

I just remembered some methods to earn airline miles without spending a penny (yes no money involved), except of course, your time on the internet!

www.e-miles.com

www.erewards.com (the sponsor list is here: Air France, Continental, Delta and US Airways are sponsors through whom you can get an invitation + Hilton honors, bmi - no link given here)

US Airways has all sorts of additional ways to earn miles, one which caught my was the Microsoft Live Search Club (under Get Miles > Even more ways to earn.)

If the links above do not work directly, I would suggest that you go to the 'Earn Miles" or Get Miles section of each mileage program webpage and search around a bit, usually erewards can be found under "other ways" or "Even other ways/Other partners".

Emiles typically makes you take surveys (5-10 miles/event) and then an option to buy products (100-500 miles earned depending on purchase size) from many different online retailers including names like Target, Flowers.com, Cruise lines etc.

ERewards is more of an online market survey group. You receive survey invitations by email and then respond to those within 1-2 days of email receipt. Even if you are invited by one partner, E-rewards also gives the flexibility to obtain any type of available reward, like amazon certs, any airline miles or gift certs for the rewards you earn.

For some airlines, www.Opinionplace.com works (AAdvantage)

Other airlines have their own promotions or dining miles program (eg UAL Dining)- register any credit card and when you naturally happen to eat out at selected restaurants (cheap to pricey) you end up earning miles quietly when you pay with the registered card.
