Sharebuilder Review

Posted in Debt by debt kid on the January 20th, 2008

Who is Sharebuilder right for?

Sharebuilder is perfect for anyone who has never invested before (they make the process very simple, and easy to do). Also, investors with a long-term buy and hold strategy can do well with a diversified portfolio through Sharebuilder (link: Buy Stocks for $4 )

Is ShareBuilder easy to use?

Yes.

Oh, you want more? Yes, I found the ETF (exchange traded fund) finder very useful. They pretty much give you all the tools you need to get started in investing and make it a very easy, simple and plainless process.

So yes, Sharebuilder is an easy, simple way to begin investing

My Experience with Sharebuilder

I have my Sharebuilder account setup to auto-debit my checking account every two weeks. So far, I’ve been very pleased with my Sharebuilder experience.

Setting up my account was a breeze (use this link: Buy Stocks for $4 and coupon code: SHARE50 to get your $50 bonus). I had my stocks selected and investment schedule setup in about 10 minutes.

Sharebuilder invests at the open market on Tuesday mornings.

Account Screen

Your main screen when you login to your account shows a pie graph of the holdings in your account.

Gains & Losses Tracking

Probably my favorite feature of my Sharebuilder account is their simple gains and losses tracker. It’s powered by GainsKeeper, and shows your % gains and losses for each holding in your portfolio. It also delivers all the needed tax records when it’s that time of the year.

ShareBuilder Pricing

Share builder offers plan’s with no monthly fees. It also has plan’s up to $20 a month (that’s my current plan), that allow you to purchase up to 20 different stocks a month, or 10 different investments twice a month (that’s what I’m doing currently).
