Does anyone here use TD Ameritrade? I'm debating if I should open an account with them since I really like their trading platforms. I'm using JP Morgan's YouInvest right now but they haven't rolled out a an executable platform yet.

Yeah I love thinkorswim. It works on linux which is a big plus for me. You should be mindful of the fees, but I really think it's worth the support that you get. Their service is far more reliable for regular trading than the discount brokers that I've used (robinhood, ally). It's definitely the best for mobile trading too.

AngryBooch posted:Welch famously force ranked every employee in the company and fired the bottom 10% every year. Unsurprisingly, encouraging employees to sabotage and undermine each other while designing and manufacturing complex industrial machinery was not a very good business tactic. GE has discontinued the practice in Welch's retirement but still has to run national ad campaigns begging engineering grads to apply to GE job postings. Welch covered up his massive mismanagement by turning GE into a bank that would go on to collapse during the financial crisis so that he could shift around profits to his terrible acquisitions and keep the stock price high. Winning!

I caved and signed up, thinkorswim is nuts compared to what you get with some other financial institutions. I'm going to have to watch a tutorial or something because this thing is waaaay powerful.

I'm pretty financially illiterate and that's not super likely to change soon, but I'm finally earning enough now to be able to start really saving. Since I'm still pretty young, I'd like to be a bit more aggressive than just putting everything I save into CD's and money market funds. I heard about index funds recently, which sounds like a really good option for me. Is it a bad idea to just invest solely into something like the S&P 500 ETF trust over the next 30 years or so? I know diversification is a big deal, but the fund itself is really diversified so I don't know if it's necessary to invest in many of them. If I'm on the right track here, I've still got some more research to do, but I'm open to suggestions for how I go about dealing with a broker. I envision having a weekly amount go into a savings/money market account, and then having excess from that account go into the fund, so the most important thing is being able to integrate those accounts together. Beyond that I'd just be looking for the lowest fees possible only doing a few transactions a year. I wouldn't need any fancy tools either since I wouldn't exactly be day trading. Any input would be appreciated. Etrade seems to be the most well regarded so far that I've seen.

If you're truly financially illiterate, plow everything you'd want to invest into a 401k/Roth IRA target retirement fund until you've done some reading. Check out the newbie investing thread for details.

And if you’re truly financially literate, also do this. When you’re financially degenerate, come back to this thread.

In that case then, uhhhhh, why invest in a crappy biotech company with a history of death, cooked stats and failure so close to a make or break decision? But I'm sure there are goons who bought in the 2s, 3s and 4s on here who would have had a chance to get out. I sold after the JNJ call on the 13th.

any of you guys play around with REML, MORL, MRRL, etc? probably a bad time now considering we're at the start of a tightening cycle but that 20% div paid monthly doesn't sound bad if you're gonna hold 30 years and monthly DRIP
