online stock advice

[Pretty Boy32]

Anyone here deal with online stocks?? any advice on how to get it and what sites to go to???

I use Charles Schwab but as a beginner it might be overkill for you. I think the initial deposit has to be $10k or something.

My advise would be to start off which a trading platform like eToro. I think the initial deposit needs to be $100, however, it’s a community (like boxingscene) and you can learn a lot from others on tbere.

Download Robinhood & WeBull. Don't gotta pay for trades, think they just take a lil off the top when you sell to make money or some sh^t like that.

As for investments dyor.

At this time my advice would be to save your money.

I personally use Thinkorswim. I scalp options so what I do is a bit different than what most people do when actually investing in stocks/ETF's.

Sugar Ray posts here and I think he is a broker

So Larry:

A lot of sites now are full service. They all basically let you trade your account in real time, usually with a money market account as well that pays a little more interest than a savings account.

Full service means, stock picking tools, charting, news, a way to process all types of orders, etc. I use Ameritrade. They all have their good and bad points.

Its actually a good time to learn because there is a lot of violatility which means, for a seasoned trader, a potential to make some money on trades. But you need to get laced up because you can lose a lot of money otherwise.

You might want to look at education on the net... You can learn quite a bit with information and there are even schools with courses. There is a big difference between buying some stocks and holding them and trading stocks...and in fact, many will tell you that there are better markets to trade consistently, like the futures markets, and currency (Forex). But with all these things, start slow! And learn your tolerance for risk!

Its kind of like blowing someone's head off... Some people will pull the trigger with no thought, others will never do it, and many are somewhere in between... I know I know, horrible example...But you best know how you will react when you decide to put a trade in that has consequences. Will you freeze up? Just make the trade?

I mention this because some people "paper trade." I don't personally believe in that because when 5hit gets real...well its no video game, and your finger is on the trigger, so to speak... Big difference.
