I have never seen a stock brokerage company that offers discount in commission on the eve of Thanksgiving day! Folks at OptionsXpress offers 50% off commission on all sell orders on Friday, November 28th.

This offer is available only for sell orders, not for buy orders. I don’t think it’s a wise thing to sell the stocks/options just to gain $7. If you really want to get rid of something in your portfolio and your account is with optionsxpress, this may be a good idea. Personally, I think the time is ripe to buy good stocks. I won’t sell anything now.
