Trading stocks online isn’t for the faint at heart, especially when one good market day can result in an unexpected crash the next. The vast number of stock trading platforms from some of the biggest names in finance offer stock solutions to experts right on down to a day trader or novice. Before you begin investing your life savings into an unpredictable market economy, keep these stock trading tips in mind.
• Pay attention to industry trends-If an up and coming website or company gets extensive media attention or business, consider purchasing stock from them.
• Don’t be afraid to invest for fear of loss…the quicker you buy stocks, the faster you can make a profit.
• Know your trade options: some services allow you to use your mobile phone for trades, as well as faxing or over-the-phone.
• If you cancel a trade, make sure it’s complete before making another trade. Simply because you receive a cancellation receipt, it may have already gone through. Know who to contact for trading.
• Don’t trade with a company you don’t know anything about. If possible, look into their investment history, so you know you’re trading reputable stock.
• Join an online stock trading service that provides up-to-date market forecasts and comprehensive market overview features. When trading, you need access to instant stats.
6Star Reviews cites online stock trading services TD Ameritrade and Zecco as great choices in personal investment that incorporate the latter. Zecco offers great rates and 10 free trades a month if stock brokers meet the minimum balance requirement.
Options trades are $4.50 a trade, which is a low rate that new traders will surely appreciate. Similarly, TD Ameritrade runs specials such as 30-day commission-free trades and a $100 bonus on current new account openings. Before signing up with a particular company, consider your level of trading expertise, as well as your financial resources, as some sites offer lower rates than others.

By: My Wealth.com | 04/12/2009The Bureau of Labor Statistics. BLS for short. Perhaps it should just be BS? On the heels of President Obama’s “Jobs Summit”, the shockingly surprising NFP number reported showed not only a much smaller number of jobs lost (11K vs. an expected 125K) but also a revised figure from October to a drop (111K vs. 190K previously reported).
