Loyal3 is going to be like any other broker, they'll send you a year end summary.

I made ~900 trades last year. Brokers are required by law to track all the information (capital gains, acquision/sale dates, etc.). I didn't have to do anything. End of the year I get a nice long report detailing every transaction along with my total short term and long term gains/losses.

placed $200 order, L3 did not refuse the gc, gc doesnt show a charge yet, lets see how it ends.

If one planned on buying these stocks anyways and holding for the long term. It's fine. If folks think they're going to MS they're going to get shell shocked. There is something called the bid/ask spread that can eat you alive when trying to turn and burn stocks; especially if you don't get to set the limit. What's worse is that Loyal3 is probably trying to make money off the spread. Assuming the price stays the same, you'll still lose money.

The market fluctuates a lot on a daily basis. A lot of investors have no self-control and will try to time the market. Again, you'll lose.

As for me, I'm sticking with Vanguard and TD Ameritrade.

99% of the population should stick to index funds and bonds. Nobody ever plans on getting addicted to heroine, but it happens to almost every user. Don't think you're special and can beat the system.

Unfortunately, you are wrong on all accounts.

This isn't 1975. Bid/ask spreads on large cap, highly liquid stocks are a penny. AAPL, MSFT, etc. When is the last time you traded outside of ETFs?

Speak for yourself.

I gained $45 on Berkshire Hathaway, lost $4 on Coke, and lost $150 on Walmart.


I don't consider that a $100 loss because I hit two high-value signup bonuses that I never would have hit with regular spending.

Oh, and if you used Fidelity Visa + Great Bridge Group, you'd have to lose 2.5% just to break even the value of the cashback....

However, those who are putting in extremely high volumes are getting nerfed, according to the MMM thread.

Better just to use to hit signup bonuses in the comfort of your home, than to try to move high five-figures per month....

Just curious, about how much did you put in total and over what general timeframe?

I've had a loyal3 account for about a year now. Haven't made any sell trades (just purchases of stocks I would buy anyways) but they sent over a detailed tax statement at the end of the year which seemed like it track your correct tax basis.

They recently made an annoying change around dividends. Now they use your dividends to make the monthly purchase before charging your credit card. You used to be able to let your dividends grow in your cash account.
