Trading with cheapest fees

[r2b2lynn]

Hi. I don't know how to trade stocks, bonds, etc., but I want to get started. My question is, what's the cheapest market/vehicle to trade with (that has the cheapest fees)?
Would it be stocks? bonds? futures? gold/silver? CFDs? Forex? Options? ...or anything else?
Please help. Thanks.

Zecco, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo all have programs where they offer limited free trades per year. I believe that's only for stocks and ETFs, but I could be wrong.

As always, please be careful when "investing" this way, especially if it's day trading.

Yeah you're right.
As a newbie and with low capital, I think I would best be suited with Zecco or Sharebuilder.
But then again, I'll read up on Wells Fargo and Bank of America.

I know a little bit about the complex world of stocks...thanks to Ticker Tycoon...LOL
And I know about forex.

I have to read up on ETFs, CFDs, bonds, mutual funds, Futures, Options, etc.

Anyways...
HERE'S THE REAL QUESTION I SHOULD'VE ORIGINALLY ASKED:
What's the cheapest way to do day trading?

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking for, but all of them should be registered with FINRA and SIPC protected. However, I strongly advise to read the "fine print" to know what the protection entails.

Otherwise, traditional investments are not government-protected like the way bank savings are through FDIC.
