Did you notice Fidelity lowered its transaction fees?
Not sure what funds you were buying, but I tried two funds in two different accounts (Trad. and IRA) and both showed a fee of $75. I even placed the orders, just to see if it would show differently and it did not!!
These were both NEW positions in these accounts. What were you trying to do??
