Celebrate National Friendship Day with $50 for you and $50 for your pals. At this rate, you can never have too many friends.


We've grown like gangbusters thanks to clients like you referring us to your friends. So we figured we ought to show our gratitude by celebrating National Friendship Day 2008.

In 1935, Congress declared the first Sunday in August "National Friendship Day" to celebrate the special meaning of friendship. And this year, we're declaring it to be a fine opportunity for you and your friends to make $50 each when you refer them to TradeKing.



Enter your friends' email address and you're off.
Simply enter your friends' email addresses below between now and August 28, and press Send. As soon as your friend opens an account, deposits $1000, and executes at least one trade, we'll deposit $50 into both of your accounts. Isn't friendship grand? Please note that your friends must click the link in the email for us to track them and for you to receive your reward. But don't worry. We tell them that in the email they'll receive.


The sky's the limit.
The more friends you refer, the more you can earn. If you're really popular you could earn $500 or $1,000. If you're world-famous and you successfully refer a billion friends, you'll get 50 billion dollars. And since it only takes about 10 seconds to refer each friend, it works out to something like $18,000 an hour. Cha-ching!


You can even track the success rate of your referrals in real time. Here's an example of what that looks like on our Refer a Friend dashboard:
