yardhippie 0 #2 April 7, 2006 QuoteWhere or who do you invest through? I am looking to invest a little in 1 stock for the summer. What's my best option? I dont know that you could have asked a more broad question. Yahoo finance has lots of good advice, articles etc. As for brokers, investigate their fees, commissions, etc. As for stocks... theres a lot of them, look for companies that operate in areas you know and/or understand. Then you you might be better equipped to determine their stock's performance over the next 4-6 months.Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos340 1 #5 April 7, 2006 I use Ameritrade.

simplyputsi 0 #6 April 7, 2006 Well he should buy some anyways. Better yet just invest in some futures and options, you can't loose!!! Trick is to follow the market you are interested in. Find an up and coming company, or one that has been around for a long time that is making strides. If you really want to do it right it's gonna take research and time. Stocks owned--- well I had 17 shares of my company stock until I sold it the other day. Just needed the money.Skymama's #2 stalker - Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid_Icarus 0 #7 April 7, 2006 I know what i want to invest in and for how long. I am just interested in which company people USE to trade... Ameritrade, Charles Schawb, etc.... I am looking for low fees for 1-2 trades per year. Just seeing if anyone else was in the same boat and who they used..... ________________________________________ "What What.....

Vertifly 0 #10 April 7, 2006 Fidelity is a good company. But their buy-in may be toward 2 G's right now. On the dl dude, check out gold. I work for a financial information company and that is the buzz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hobbes4star 0 #12 April 7, 2006 I get a ton of that spam too. Some of there stock tips would be good for day traders but I don't have enough time to sit at my computer and watch the stock.if fun were easy it wouldn't be worth having, right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid_Icarus 0 #13 April 7, 2006 You should invest in the JJ Jump fund. It is a great company, and if you invest, my jump #'s are sure to go up! ________________________________________ "What What..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larsrulz 0 #14 April 8, 2006 If you want to do 1 or 2 trades a year at most, you really can't go wrong with scottrade. $7 for a trade is hard to beat. In fact, they currently give 3 free trades when someone else sends you their little invite ($500 account minimum). I stopped using them when I started trading options, but my coworker has an account, so PM me if you want an invite. I got a strong urge to fly, but I got no where to fly to. -PF Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
