what's a good financial institution?
 

I jumped on the etrade bandwagon. What a fucking joke.

Who do you go with and why? They were good. But lately they have been pulling some sneaky bullshit. I definitely want to keep investing and keep all our money in our IRA's and investment accounts. I just need a new place to keep all this shit.

a safe and some envelopes :thumbsup

I ditched ETrade also... I'm thinking Scottrade, but not sure yet

Check out Scottrade :thumbsup

that's non-interest bearing. :(

Did you know that if YOU (STWOF) put 100.00 a month into a mutual fund (12% which is totally doable) that by the time you were 65 you'd have 1 MILLION dollars.

That's a very nice safety net just in case this porn stuff doesn't work out.

You have the advantage of time being on your side.

Check this out. If you wait just 10 years and start when you are 35, you'd only have 300,000 saved by 65. A loss of 700,000 just because you didn't realize that time was on your side.

Good, I'll start today. Where do I put my money?

Really?

I thought most Mutual funds perform worse than the stock market index.

Anyway, I put my money with ING. their interest is higher and no risk. My heart is too weak to invest in stocks now...

hehe :winkwink:

Yep :thumbsup

A good financial institution is a bank.


But since I think you are referring to discount brokerages, go with Ameritrade. Or buyandhold.com if you're dooing DRIP investing.

Pick one or a few and do it.

"More is lost in indicision, than the wrong dicision"
The wrong dicision being not investing at all.

Personally I would advise a new investor to stay away from those types of stcks. 95% of the stocks in that list trade under 1,000,000 shares a day, and will be extremely volitile. :2 cents:

Really? Yeah me to. Since they're not stocks.

Mutual funds can have yields that are better or worse then stocks, it's just simply another vehicle of investment

Ah, I didn't read anything except the volume. That would explain a lot.

I keep my savings in Canadian Tire money....
