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:

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.

I use Etrade, but that is only because that is what we need to use for our ESPP

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.

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.

Invest in IBM. They are laying off like 3500 people in July. Stocks are bound to go up. 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:

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.

That's why you bet on stocks with your friends.

I posted a few messages in this thread, but they no longer exist. Are we have forum problems?
