- dont trust these kind of web....they are all scams
- you sound like a rookie. you should stick to a good market index fund. open an account w/charles schwab. w/only 5k you will be charged a maintenance fee however. i would try to save more and learn more before taking the plunge. it can be a painful ramp up process. no one can prepare you for your first blown up stock. it will eat at you if you don;t have the right type of perspective and personal makeup. good luck.
- selling at six months will get you a higher tax bracket than waiting a year and any online can do that. Just look to see who is reptuable, low fees and "hidden charges"
- I'm been trying to find the answer to that question for 9 years now. So far, here's what I've determined to be the best: 1. VectorVest.com - They charge a monthly fee, but have a reasonable cost to try them on a trial basis. Sign-up, get some good stock ideas, then cancel. The research on this website is top-notch quality. 2. Investors.com - This is Investor's Business Daily's website. They list their top stocks on the front page of the website daily. The stocks on here do great, but only when the market is strong. 3. Stocktables.com - This website is just like Investors.com, but you can sign-up for a free trial without a credit card. The website works a lot better than investors.com too, except your trial is only good for 2 weeks. 4. Money.MSN.com - This website has a really good stock screener and it's 100% free. However, they don't give specific recommendations. Here are some websites that are over-rated and are pretty much crap, avoid them: eSignal.com GorillaTrades.com TradeTrek.com Pristine.com ChannelingStocks.com
- You can try sharebuilder.com and invest from there!
- TD Ameritrade.
