Hey guys.. Looking to dabble in some online trading. Any suggestions on who to use? Keep in mind that I am not a serious investor. I have some cash that I more or less just want to play around with. So easier and cheaper to use is better than more complicated and in depth.

Thought I would ask before I went ahead and signed up with E Trade.

Thanks:toast:

I've been with 3 or 4 and I like Scottrade the best. Low cost trading and good features to boot. All things considered, this my top choice.

I have etrade and ameritrade and like ameritrade the best. I couldn't do my thing with the stocks without their "command center".

If I were starting today, I would more than likely go with Ameritrade.

Once I get some time, I am planning on closing my accounts and starting with them.

They have good flexibility, especially for newbies.

Im sure thats about right. I have no delusions here. I got some money I wanted to play around with and get my feet wet.

Are there forums such as these that you guys get tips from?

I dont even know where to start?

Damn, man. I can't believe you do that.

I went to Comcast today to drop off my equipment after canceling.

Went at lunch - at least 75 people in line. Fuck that. Went back to work.

Went at 2:45 - I was #31 in line.

At least 25% of the people were there to pay their bill. What the fuck is that about?

I don't get it.

Well, it's simple really. My cable joint is one driveway away from the gym I eat cookies at. The time of day I go is usually around 3pm, and the line is seldom more than one person.

I'm not making any special trips cross country to pay the fucking thing, like some tards love to always make out.

What's strange is when I walked in and saw that line I thought of you.

Ahhhh.
