Zecco gives 10 free trades per calendar month while you maintain a total equity of at least $2500. For any trade after that, the charge is $4.50. The website isn't the most user friendly as far as navigating to particular links and doing research, but I deal with it to save on any costs. The only other problem I experienced was that the site was locked down for a couple of hours while the market was open one day.
It depends on if wall street perceives the buyout as a good investment for the buying company. If the company is financing the deal, then it might not be a good idea considering the company they buyout might not ever rebound meaning its additional debt for the buyin company. In this case, the company's stock which gets bought out will more than likely go up to the value that is being paid for it. Sprint Nextel just went up by like 40% on speculation of them being bought out.
The Blockbuster attempt to buy Circuit City puzzles me. I thought Blockbuster was in the same boat as Circuit City...on the verge of bankruptcy. Why would they think about buying another near bankrupt company? Isn't Blockbuster going all-in and then some?

I went to Junior Trump's seminar last year, and they mentioned what to look for in an up and coming stock. Of course, they were selling software. What do you look for in a good stock? There's a certain number that means more than others.
