My “free shares strategy tells me to wait till a stock goes up 40%, then sell enough of it to get my invested money back. This time I went a little bit out of the strategy and got back my invested money on 3 stocks that were up 30% only:
| Ticker | Company | Transaction | date | shares sold | price |
| NVDA | NVIDIA Corporation | Sell | Sep 4, 2007 | 19.00 | 51.85 |
| INTC | Intel Corporation | Sell | Sep 4, 2007 | 40.00 | 26.26 |
| CVX | Chevron Corporation | Sell | Sep 4, 2007 | 12.00 | 88.44 |
I went out of my strategy because I don’t like how Wall Street looks. (more…)

I did it today! It felt really really good to trade without commissions for the first time in my life: WOW!
my first impressions:
- Zecco’s website is clumsy and slow. Takes too long to get where it counts: the Trading Center
- There are trading options that I don’t understand. Transactions can be “Buy”, “Sell”, “Short” or “Cover”. I know how to use the first two, but I do wonder what would happen if I simply shorted a stock.
- Order Type can be: “Market”, “Limit”, “Stop”, “Stop limit” or “VTSO”. Again I do undersstand the first two: I can buy at market price or I can set a limit to how much I want to pay. I also understand “Stop limit” because underneeth you can decide the STOP (meening that, if a share reaches a certain price the transaction will trigger) and the limit is how much I accept to pay. I don’t understand what happens if I set a Stop without a limit and I don’t have a clue about “VTSO” order type.
- Duration can be: “day” or GTC=”good till canceled”. I understand both. (more…)
