rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author secondhull - I recently wanted to consolidate some accounts and move some inheritance money in. I'd had a small account with Sharebuilder and thought that they were okay. Since ING bought them, I assumed that they would have the same service levels as ING. I...

Thu, 27 Mar 2008 22:57:22 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author justinslot - Trying to clear up some of the strange opinions about Sharebuilder around here.

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 23:28:22 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author investor33 - I'm a new investor who opened up an account with ShareBuilder around one year ago. I didn't do a lot of shopping around and unfortunately I was duped by ShareBuilders "long term investing approach" marketing gimmick. Don't believe that for 1 second. True...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author acpaulley - The Newbie Trap I joined ShareBuilder in order to get my feet wet with trading. It has been successful in doing that (and only that). To someone completely new to trading, like I was, I took their "$4" trades advertising to mean, well, $4 per...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author viettrav - I was very disappointed by my experience at Sharebuilder. I tried the service because of a $50.00 promotion, and ended up losing over $60.00 (even with the promotion already figured in) in less than two weeks. I put my automatic investments on hold on...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author rabodzey - This review focuses on comparison between the options available via different online brokers and the price you have to pay for them. Why would you care to read review number 70 in a long list of reviews about Sharebuilder? I can see two major...

Wed, 9 May 2007 11:27:06 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author doeroadx - Investing where you choose, when, how much, and low commission fees: too good to be true? It is! Some months ago, ShareBuilder "redesigned" its website, and since I didn't check my statements very regularly, the next time I did, I discovered that my...

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author yellowdog51 - Enticed by the yearly Costco-affiliated offer that gives you $65 (or thereabouts) for free when you sign up for Sharebuilder and make one trade, I opened my Sharebuilder account in April, 2006. I viewed it as my "fooling around" brokerage account...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mkfarms1 - I am a long-time Sharebuilder customer (since 2000).

finc-Financial Services-Online-Brokerages-O-Z-Sharebuilder: A great low-cost broker for buy-and-hold investors

Thu, 15 Mar 2007 14:38:21 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author spwholock - COMPANY OVERVIEW Sharebuilder exists purely in cyberspace and they have no brick and mortar outlets. They've been around since 1996, but back then they were known as Netstock Direct. Netstock eventually morphed into the current incarnation of...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author mjrusso - Three weeks ago I was feeling pretty good because 6 months prior I had dumped about $800 into a Sharebuilder account and had purchased shares in two different stocks, each increasing roughly $5 per share since. Nice little profit, no? So I decided to...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gweng - After having been a perfectly loyal customer of Sharebuilder for about two or three years, I am looking and hoping to find an alternative where I can move my business -- maybe FolioFN. This is because Sharebuilder has made it ridiculously difficult to...

Thu, 22 Feb 2007 20:30:34 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author dem2theend - Sharebuilder markets itself as a good option for low-dollar investors by allowing people to buy in dollar amounts rather than buying whole shares using the weekly automatic investing option. The automatic investment option is also attractive because the...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author tahurviejo - It is November 6 '06, the Monday night before Election Day.

Thu, 4 May 2006 18:43:36 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author alchemist32 - We opened a sharebuilder account back in 2000. At that time it seemed like a "discount" way in which to buy stock.
