I was looking at the Gold package, which for $400 a year would get me the ability to hold 150 different stocks and make 600 trades a month (7200 a year) in those stocks (in dollar amounts -- fractional shares instead of larger lots of shares). It would also then get me 10 free market/limit orders a month and then extra trades at $3.95 each. The base annual cost would be less than one percent.
It does not appear to have some of the bells and whistles for exotic trades, but I would not need those for this account -- this would be long term money.
