Free money is wonderful, yet the price that is paid "time" vs. reward "ROI" can be unworthy. Velocity of money is just as important. Although this will make you some money to get started I believe sound investment advice is warranted here. Just telling someone a stock recommendation or mutual fund isn't a great place to start. Readers should have a stock picking system or financial adviser to assist them in this endeavor. I speak from experience and loss. In the market. I am not bashing what you are doing here just shedding light that after people have waited so long for the free money; why should they loose it in the market? Why not plus the system? Instead of stopping at 1500 bucks why not take 10 or 100 of these readers and have them pool up the money and buy property free and clear? Why not have it invested into an IRA as the contribution or build a for profit company? Yada yada... I am enjoying your blog it's sparked some ideas for my own personal financial management. Thanks a million $$. Jim I do have to admit that this sounds like some solid advice. Free money is wonderful, yet the price that is paid “time” vs. reward “ROI” can be unworthy.

You have $100, pay sharebuilder $50 to buy stock, put $50 in an account with them, sell the stock, and come out 60.1% ahead plus what you sold the stock for?

I am a strong advocate of ING Direct, they pay a little bit less, but I think they are worth it. Their system is easier to use and they have actually been a joy to work with. Good points.

They don't publicize it, but here's <a href="http://www.bankofamerica.com/deposits/checksave/100mya/" rel="nofollow">the link</a>. They also have a "keep the change" promotion where they match 100% of the rounded-up change from debit card purchases for the first 3 months.
