online stock trading

[Hayes]

does anyone do this if so who do you go through?

[Skeeter]

check this site out....www.zecco.com

by far the best I have found.....free trading, and people get on message boards and tell exactly why they picked a certain stock....real cool.....do a lot of research before you dip your money.....i have made almost $2500 in one day two weeks ago, and lost $1990 on another one on tues......

if you are long term investing, call a broker

if you are recreational, try this website out...

Day trading is a good way to get your booty handed to you.

ETrade
You can set your money up in an ETrade checking account for when you want to pull your $$$ out of stocks. I also have my ETrade linked to my regular banking accounts so i can move money around when I want to.

Save up your money, and buy a good piece of LAND!!!....never loses value, and they ain't making any more of it!!!

E-trade is nice but the commission per trade adds up. Stay away from the Commision based on a percentage...

Day trading stocks are kinda like the casino, only trade what you can afford to lose.... And look at everthing in $$$$$ amounts instead of percentages. If you can buy something one morning and sell it that afternoon and make 350.00 the way I look at it I just did good. Who cares that it is less than 1% profit. 350.00 is more than a weeks take home on minimum wage.... Heck after taxes and insurance its more than someone making 12.50 and hr. and you just made it in one day typeing on a computer.

THis is for my play money,

I am not focussing on retirment through online trading. simply looking at some quick plays on money I can afford to lose.

money I can afford to lose.

Then get ready, because you will more than likely lose. I had E-Trade until I found myself unemployed for a while. By the time I got my money out from those crooks, their 'fees' had nickle and dimed me to death. They charge fees for everything. If you trade, they charge a fee. If you don't trade, then then charge you an 'inactivity fee'. If you find yourself under margin - which can happen even if you buy long according to their accountants - you will have additional fees associated with your margin call. etc. etc.

My STRONG suggestion is that you find a reputable broker, make D@MN sure of the fee structure (this is where I got stung by them changing theirs without telling me.), and keep a REEEEAAAALL close eye on them.

I know you didn't ask for all of this advice, but if I could save one person from being burned by these b@$t@rds, then I feel that my piddling loss was worth it. Besides, the rant made me feel better.

Good luck, and have fun.

How about you just put the money in the mail and send it to me? If you acn afford to lose it, I'll be willing to help you lose it to someone.
