I use proprietary trading software only available to hedge funds.

I dealt with eTrade and it all went very good as far as I recall. I bailed out in 2005 or so. Haven't made any placements since or w/e.

Do you all perform surgeries on yourselves too? It makes as much sense as investing yourself with zero financial experience.

I love these little homegrown "traders." They're reliable contributors to my quant arbitrage fund that just sits there and sucks up all their little pennies.

GM is interesting. Stock is dirt cheap. They may go bankrupt or they may turn it around eventually with the electric car.

I use eTrade. My biggest complaint is all the emails they send. I suppose I should read them (they are good about making the subject line clear and concise though).

Buffet got super returns, not something the average investor can get - big difference. If I had his deal I'd dump a ton into GS and GE too, but as is both companies look iffy for a while.
Lots looking really cheap, but there is also no bottom to the world economy in sight. With no money and no credit, nothing will move forward.
Cash is king for now.

I doubt Apple will go up again that fast... ok.. new laptops.. but who buys them in this time of crisis? no one.

Great article in today's NYTimes about this... "Investors with a Sense of History See a Time to Buy"
Warren Buffet has invested 8 billion in Goldman Sachs and GE. So, there ya go. Also on Forbes, they have an article on the best 10 small companies, weighed by their stock performance and accounting standards, etc.

GM is at $4.85 right now. Their 52 week high was $43. Even if they can achieve half that in time, you'll make 5 times your investment.

right now, find a bank with high APY. put some there. you will be making more cash there, then on the stock market.

what were you playing? blackjack is really the only game where the house doesn't have a clear advantage. I like to do the old outside betting on roulette (red or black). Basically betting on flipping a coin.
