Basnetpr - BOA have 30 free trades per month if you qualify (means if you have certain amount in equity in BOA accounts). My problem is - if you are not a citizen, you have to call them and open an investment account in person over the phone. I was wondering if I shall just check the "citizen" option and open an account online. Do you guys think it’s going to be a problem later on?

 Currently I pay $12 per trade in etrade. Just wanted to save some $ in the trading fees.
