i really want to start getting into stocks and i've been looking at a couple options
etrade and td waterhouse
the problem with td is that its like $30 per trade
anyone have any experience with etrade? i know you have to dump $1000 into your account to get started.....how long before you can pull that 1k out?

kinetic,
i use TD Ameritrade. $9.99/trade.i personally think if you are puting $1000, you should keep it in the account and don't it take out. keep investing, buy, sell, and add more $.
i think $1000 isn't that much money to invest but it's a good start. i usually put away a set amount each month to a saving account. then once it reaches to set $, i put that money into the market and buy shares, usually 100shares or more unless i am buying a very expensive stock like google.
good luck

good advice..thanks mate
i have a lot of money saved right now ... but they say you shouldn't invest more than you are willing to lose and i dont think i could stand to lose more than 1k ;)

when you save, make sure you are getting 4.5-5% interest. otherwise you are losing the $ value. i think the annual inflation rate is around 3-4%. so you need to make sure your money grows and not just sit somewhere.
80% of my money is in stocks/funds. they gain average of 15-20% annually. 20% cash i have is sitting in 5% interest saving account. just make sure you diverse your investments. if you don't wanna lose, you maybe better off getting a SP500 fund.

that's a great return rate
do you constantly adjust your portfolio? or is it a select number of low risk stable companies for the whole year?

Does anyone know of a good financial site similar to Morningstar that will give you info on: ratings, risk, value estimate, buy/sell, etc.
Morningstar looks good but I don't want to pay $15 per month at this time.

not sure, But I just found this last week. Looking into an account, free trades is a nice thing.
http://www.zecco.comA lot of trading houses are starting to implement the ratings, risk, value estimates into their online services, so you might just need to wait with who ever you're with now.

i am with ameritrade and it offers me various reports and ratings.. i get TheStreet.com rating report, Standard&Poor's Stock report, Ford Equity Research Rating, Market Edge Second Opinion, and Jaywalk Consensus.
to me that's more than enough.

I need to jump in this band wagon of investing. My money is just sitting my my checking account which is the worst possible place.
- rafalski0
I can imagine a few worse places

tk, my buddy that was in CO with me supplies the chips or screens or something for GRMN. He was saying that they are starting to go after the EURO market pretty hard. When he said that I thought , damn I should look into that... and i forgot =( But yeah, he was saying they keep buying more and more stuff from him at a pretty crazy rate, so they must be doing pretty good. Congrats!
