Dear SARA,
Beginning May 1st, ShareBuilder will introduce a new fee structure for our basic services. Single recurring transactions will cost slightly more, while other prices will drop. Many of you have asked us to cut our prices for Real-Time Trades and I'm pleased to announce that we're doing just that. In addition, we are cutting the fee for one-time (non real-time) ShareBuilder transactions as well. And later in May, we will introduce a new ShareBuilder subscription option, where for only $8 a month you can take advantage of unlimited ShareBuilder purchases! WHAT'S THE NEW PRICE STRUCTURE? On May 1st, the standard recurring transaction fee will change from $2 to $3 (and from $1 to $2 for custodial accounts). We are also reducing several fees directly. To simplify our structure, we are cutting the fee for one-time (non real-time) ShareBuilder transactions from $5 to just $3. We have also listened to you about Real-Time Trades, and have reduced the fee from $19.95 to $15.95. Here is a summary of the changes: * All you can Build - New! $8 * ShareBuilder transaction - from $2 to $3 (Individual, Joint or IRA) * ShareBuilder transaction - from $1 to $2 (Custodial) * One-Time ShareBuilder transaction - from $5 to $3 * Real-Time Trades - from $19.95 to $15.95 Not only are we offering you a less expensive way to diversify your portfolio, we've also lowered our prices for those investors who purchase on a one-time basis or trade Real-Time. All you can Build will be the least expensive way to build a portfolio of stocks anywhere. While we want to encourage diversification and recommend the subscription plan, paying per transaction can still make sense for investors purchasing just one or two stocks in their ShareBuilder Plan. STAYING THE COURSE The market has been incredibly tough for all of us during the past several months, but we all know that we still have to invest money to get ahead in the long run. While the effect on our portfolio values has been depressing, cycles are normal, and the prudent way to smooth the effects is to keep investing equal dollar amounts. Holding to a strategy of dollar-cost averaging across a diverse group of stocks is exactly what investors should do to minimize their market risk over time. In a market rebound, today's low prices will look like bargains in comparison. We hope that giving you the best tools possible to invest wisely will position you and your investments to succeed. I believe the All you can Build feature will be a big help. Sincerely, Jeff Seely President and CEO ShareBuilder Securities Corporation P.S.
