With some many high profile stocks bottoming out, I am thinking of picking up a few, gambling that many of them will rebound it time.
Has anyone used online services like eTrade and what experiences have you had?

Also, we need to consider that if we want to help the stock market, 5, 10 or 20 of us little guys need to invest to take the place of a larger investor who has pulled everything out and contributing to the problem.

How long does it take for a trade/buy/sell to take place?
Is there any way to make buys take place within minutes?- if there is a seller at the price you bid it take under a minutealicetheblue

everyone here at my co. finanacial services co. talks about putting their money in funds not stock. I'd like to buy stock because I never have.

@ETM. apple has a set the bar high for themselves. so much of the product is based on image that it would take a minor shift and they'd go down the tubes. they have their customers brainwashed into believing their products are worth twice as much as their competitors. all it would take is a snap back to reality (a depression) to change that.

Petsmart - not just for the pets
but for the food (kibble is cheap and healthy and goes well with a cold beer)- elderly on welfare eating cat food will return soonLlyod

I'd be surprised if we have hit bottom yet
- vanilla_cam0
well shit. someone tell me how to get rich. lloydhedge, i'm looking at you.

it's went up 800pts since 3pm. i think we hit the bottom. this doesn't mean it's gonna be an easy ride from here. we'll still see a lot of volatility but i think the market is seeing the bottom. we got 20min to go.

only bad thing is that it's friday. nobody likes to hold on to uncertainty over the 3day weekend.

I use sharebuilder.com (owned by ING). I like it because there is no minimum account balance, and no fees of any kind besides trading fees. (14.95US per transaction, no matter what the size.) even wiring money into it is free.

my friend already lost on Apple by buying at the end of last week. DOH!
