Yeah, sharebuilder.com is down.. What if some shit goes down and you want to sell or buy really quickly? You just can't? That could really screw some people.

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).

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

don't do it. You should be saving your $$, not spending it.

are you seriously thinking about buying stocks? this is a joke thread, i'm convinced.
put your money into physical assets ie - gold and silver. at the very least, get the money you would buy stocks with in cash, and put it under your mattress. This will yield you more returns than investing in the shit
- not necessarilyjonatne
- gold lost 9% today... not that safemonNom
- yeah, precious metals value changes based on the market. silver is very volatile.tkmeister
- not when the whole thing dies, then it will be the only valuable thing around.ifeltdave
- Gold, 4 years ago, maybe - If the market redresses, there's a lot out there in Asia etc to be sold = plummet in value.Nairn
- buy low, sell high right? Seems pretty low to me.The_CCG

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.

People have to stop looking at this economic issue as if its got a black & white cause and solution.
Saving will help, but people need to also invest. A balance must be maintained. Everyone pulling out of stocks, even to put in savings is contributing to the market problems. Its a cycle. People panicking and pulling everything out to "put under their mattress" is the worst possible thing to do and will certainly bring about a full on crash.
Some are willing to risk a bit on the market... and it could pay off. Would I put my life savings into it? Hell no. Would I put a few thousand in and see what happens? Sure.
Save and MAYBE be safe. I want to take a small risk and in time hopefully find some reward.

About 3 weeks ago I had a sudden urge to cash out a 401k I had from a job about 8 years ago. This week my friends who had the same one , poof .... gone.
Not saying anything but also last night I had a dream about buying canned food, getting in a truck with montana plates while carrying a rifle. Do with that what you like.

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.

Diversity is part of the economy. Do what you feel is best.
