Banking Bonus: Free Trades

If you have an account with Bank of America, you may be able to trade stocks for free. Bank of America recently announced that if you hold $25,000 in your combined accounts with them, you are eligible for 30 free equity trades each month. The combined balance can include checkings and savings accounts as well as CDs. If you already bank with them and maintain such a balance, this is an excellent opportunity to get your feet wet in the stock market at no cost. Provided you pick the right stocks, of course!
