The Scorpion | Just opened an online account w/TD Ameritrade. Decent way to save? |
My thinking is really of this account being a form of savings while having the money trying to make a decent/good profit as well. In just a few days I've made back the money it cost's just to trade (9.99). I guess my question is does this seem like a good mode of saving given that any purchase or trade costs $9.99. Any experience with this?
Additional Details
Thanks everyone. It's not my primary savings, just a secondary thing so it's not critical. I just thought I would grab a few ideas. |

It depends a lot on how you use the account whether it will prove a good mode of saving or not. If you use it in an attempt to make short term trading profits, it may prove to be not a very good way. In fact you may wind up loosing a great deal of money. If however you use it to purchase long term holdings in stocks that have potential to grow then yes indeed it can provided you can manage to survive through the occasional market down turn when you will watch your portfolio loose maybe 1/3 to 1/2 its value. |

I do the same thing. The biggest advice I can give you is to fund the Ameritrade account automatically every month. It goes right from you bank account to your Ameritrade account. It's great because you never have the chance to miss the money and it gives you more money to invest every month!!
Stay away from the penny stocks (under $5). But if you see one you like and want to take a chance, only allocate 10% of your funds to them. Here are a few that you may know:
Bally's Fitness (BFT)
Buca Restaurants (BUCA)
Denny's (DENN)
Spanish Broadcasting (SBSA)
Buy high quality companies that are industry leaders. Some that I like right now are:
Carnival Cruise (CCL)
Motorola (MOT)
ExxonMobil (XOM)
China Unicom (CHL)
The Q's and the Diamonds are great, but they won't make you good money. They will just track the Nasdaq or Dow. Too slow for my taste.
Happy Holidays |

I once had an account with a dynamite brokerage house called Jack White, in San Diego. They always answered the phone on time, the agents offered useful suggestions, the trades were on time, and they had about 4000 no load mutuals funds.
Then Jack White was bought out by TD Waterhouse. They moved the operation to NYC, half the agents spoke with weird accents, they put me on hold and the trades took forever. So I moved part of my investments (mutual funds) to Schwab and some (exchange traded funds) to Scottrade.
I have never been sorry. Now TD Waterhouse has become TD Ameritrade. I don't know how they are doing since the last merger, but Jack White was great and TD Waterhouse sucked bigtime.
In any event, unless you are a serious expert with stocks, and you have over $4 millionb, do yourself a favor and stick to mutual funds, either No load no 12-b1 funds or ETFs. $10 is not bad for a trade, it's a whole lot better deal than any of Merrill Lynch's customers ever get.
What you should do is invest all you can, every year, as soon as you can, in a Roth IRA.
Read up on mutual funds (Sheldon Jacobs has a great book you can get for cheap at Amazon) and subscribe to a good mkutual fund newsletter. Hulbert will tell you who these are.
Good luck. |

its more important what you buy. Nobody gets rich by JUST opening a brokerage account but what you buy IN it. If you want to trade, trade a whole index instead of an individual stock
1. DIA: "diamonds"-tracks the DOW and pays a MONTHLY dividend.
2 SPY :"spiders"- tracks the SP500.
3. QQQQ- tracks the entire Nasdaq100.
Trade the market not just one stock. To that guy who said you can lose 40% in one day he is full of ****. That only happens if you invest in penny stocks, buying call/put options or buying a company in bankruptcy. It is amazing how some people hate the stock market that have to make up stuff just to make themselves and their risk adverse a.s.s.e.s feel better.
Anybody wants to argue e-mail me!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I use ingdirect.com It's a greater way to save money. I did what you did and I lost money. I have not used E-trade though. Now I just have a portion of my paycheck go directly to ING and there is no fee to open an account. They make it super easy.
I like it alot.
good luck |

A brokerage account is not a vehicle for short-term savings (the value of your holdings could drop by as much as 40% in just a few days), but as a long-term vehicle, it's the surest way to make a lot of money. Invest equal dollar amounts on a regular basis, ignore market conditions, and buy quality issues, and you will do very well without doing much work.
Good luck! |

hey I like your thinking....but you have to understand that making money trading stocks is very difficult, and you can lose lots of money very quickly doing this..........best way to save money for your future is to open a good mutual fund, like with Vanguard, and once or twice a month have them take money right out of your checking account and put it into your investment account. and do this your whole life, and leave it alone, and you can make yourself tons of money over time........open a roth ira........go and buy the book investing for dummies, it is packed with lots of good info...the stock market is one of the greatest things in the world, but it is also very hard........learn as much as you can, watch cnbc on tv every day, go and buy the investor business daily newspaper........endless amount of info are available about the stock market..........it is the most addicting thing in the world...maybe even better than sex........and golf........go and educate yourself....watch Jim Crammer on CNBC every night, if he can't get you interested in the stock market, no one can |
