Fidelity Offers Fractional Trading of Stocks/ETFs

[gwraigty]

Fidelity will execute all fractional trades in real-time during market hours, meaning customers will always know the share price, unlike some firms that execute fractional trades at the end of a trading day or wait for multiple orders to add up to full shares. Fractional share or dollar-based trades, which must be market or limit order types and are good for the day only, are available in eligible Fidelity retail accounts, including brokerage, HSAs, IRAs, and selfdirected brokerage accounts via a workplace retirement plan.

This will only be available on the mobile app - and it will be rolled out over the next few weeks. app on my phone does support frac shares now.

Still a very good thing. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the major brokerages launch similar stuff in the coming weeks.

Hopefully this will happen on their web site also; it would be convenient.

I don't use their mobile app.

This sounds really great. I was a ShareBuilder subscriber for a long time and dearly miss that service.

Nice. I have an extra $100 burning a hole in my pocket. Might as well buy some BRK/A!

I don't know why they wouldn't eventually make it available on the website.
