All,

First time poster here so take it easy on me :) I am in search of an on-line discount broker however looking for the cheapest commissions and fees. I have done some research and come across Merrill Edge offering 30 trades per month for $0 commissions and no annual fee. I am somewhat new to the online discount brokers and my question is, Is this to good to be true? I tried calling customer support with Merrill however on hold for 14 min's. I have read and re-read the fine print and from what I take from it you just have to have $25,000 min cash balance to qualify. Has anyone else had any experiences with Merrill or another discount brokerage with similar offers? Thanks for any feedback or help! Link to Merrill Edge below.
