**E*Trade is offering free trades for the first 60 days when you open a new brokerage account.**

**From now until December 31st, 2010, you get up to 500 free trades during the first 60 days of your new brokerage account with E*Trade.**

In order to qualify for this E*Trade promotion, you must:

Open a new account (if you currently have an account with E*Trade, you’re out of luck).
Make an initial deposit of at least $2,000.

You’re 60 day free trade period begins the day you open your account, not the day you fund your account. If you take your time in making a deposit, you will lose valuable trading time.

Free trades are not unlimited. This promotion allows for 500 free trades to be executed. Any unused trades will disappear after 60 days.

Even though trades are considered “free” you will have to pay for them first. All trades on options and stocks will be deducted from your account and then credited back within 8 weeks.

Finally, new funds or securities must remain in your account for at least a six month period (minus any losses), or you could forfeit the money saved from trades. Simply put, you shouldn’t make a withdrawal from your E*Trade account to your bank account for the first six months.
