What do you guys trade using? etrade? vanguard? scottrade?

Tips for beginners? Do any of you use any stock trading forums?

There's some good basic knowledge if you read back through the thread. I can't speak to which trading site is the best since I'm not using one of them. They're all going to be pretty similar. Pick the one that won't eat you alive in fees.

What chuck said.. Go back to about 8 months ago in the threads, and read my posts.. I started with $2500 with Scottrade. Read thru this thread, read countless articles online & in books, chatted with grandparents, talked with Chuck and Tiler and a few others. And I added a few hundred here and there, but today, 8+ months later, my account has tripled and i have those few of you to thank.

So 300% in 8 months? Not too damn bad at all

Tradeking for individual stocks & Vanguard Brokerage for their ETFs.
I swear by Tradeking, best customer service and some of the lowest fees out there.

Many may or may not agree with these statements, invest don't day trade. If you must day trade, do it with your own money (seen plenty crash and burn gambling with margin money and cry home to their wives).
Buy and hold quality stocks/Index/ETFs still works wonders and could give you better return than day trading. Stock message boards are riddled with crap, nonsense, don't waste your time on yahoo message boards like I did when starting to invest.

Look into the insider trading analysis from Vickers. Looks a bit scary to me.
It is at high now with most calling for a hold.
The only time they seen a $7.00 was for a day back in may of last year.
How did it get pumped and dumped back then?

Not sure I just recently started trading. I think it will get up around $7 or at least close to it. They are getting added to a green energy index on monday and then tuesday are releasing financials. I have pretty good faith it will rise a bunch. Gonna sell it and buy back in when it dips. I plan on going long on RGSE.

Anyone have experience in an online service like betterment . com ? I've been reading Chuck's and everyone elses posts in this thread all week trying to learn as much as I can.

As a young guy (23) that recently graduated I understand it's important to start early when saving for things like retirment, a house etc. , was wondering if a service like betterment ( in addition to a 401k) is a wise way to ease into investing?

Off the cuff generic "getting started" advice-
1. Contribute up to the match in the 401(k)
2. Save up six months living expenses in cash
3. Max out a Roth IRA
4. Open a brokerage account

2&3 can be done at the same time if finances allow.

As income increases, move your goals up- divert the cash savings to house savings, max out the 401(k)- if it has a Roth componant, do it there.

I'd much rather have fslr or scty, but I honestly wouldn't go with solar at all right now other than to play the earnings every quarter.
