rodney87 04-27-2008, 08:20 PM A friend at work told me about a company he's been invested in for a while and I wanna buy some shares for myself. All the investment places around here told me they wont help out with a one time buy so I need to go online. Who here buys stocks online and who do you use? Where's the cheapest/best, how easy is it etc. I'm looking for some info :bigthumb: 1revnrex 04-27-2008, 08:49 PM Scottrade is who I used, 500 bucks to start and it was 7 dollar trades. Im pretty sure it still is. Not a bad site. rtryb2200 04-27-2008, 09:08 PM I use Etrade, but that is only because that is what we need to use for our ESPP AteTuna 04-27-2008, 09:27 PM I use Fidelity, but that's because they're supposed to have some pretty decent research tools, and also because I used to work for a Fidelity company. 2ndGen.Rocket 04-27-2008, 09:43 PM The worst investment advice you get is always from a friend. Tofuball 04-27-2008, 09:49 PM The worst investment advice you get is always from a friend. Does that count as investment advice? Are you my friend? We might have a paradox here.

Delete this post to assure it isn't insider trading. wotnartd 04-27-2008, 09:56 PM Does that count as investment advice? Are you my friend? We might have a paradox here.

Delete this post to assure it isn't insider trading. So buy the stock right after the layoff? When are their earnings announced? Got to time this right ya know:bigthumb: Vert8813B 04-27-2008, 10:00 PM They would publicly announce earnings pretaining to that around the 3rd fiscal quarter. Last I checked, their stock was at 135 bucks a share. iirc. rtryb2200 04-27-2008, 10:00 PM you;ll have to keep us posted so we all can become millionaires and go to jail Vert8813B 04-27-2008, 10:04 PM word. i'm down.
