Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for online investment sites? Of, if anyone has suggestions of sites to stay away from. I'd be interested in hearing any experiences (positive or negative) for any sites any of you have used.
Soulive said:I've used ING Direct and currently HSBC Direct. I recommend either of them, although I think HSBC's current rate is slightly higher...
srm775 said:Per transaction rate? Which do you think has better research tools? Which would you recommend for a novice/casual investor? Do you think the higher rates are justified (i.e. do they give you more bang for your buck)?
Any sites you'd stay away from?
Dr Vorlauf said:I use vanguard and Fidelity. Good security and low cost structure ( especially with Vanguard ).
Your choice will be determined by investment goals ( the ones I mentioned above are probably not the best if you want to do day trading... but nice for a 401K , IRA, 529 etc)

hagen505 said:Why would you say to avoid etrade? because they are on shakey ground? I have noticed that their stock is way down, but if they went under would that be a big deal if you had investments through them? I mean if they went under, you would still have your shares of the stock that you hold, right?

srm775 said:So, does anyone have any good recommendations on investment books (i.e. online investing for dummies, stocks for dummies, etc.)?
Swensen's 2005 book "Unconventional Success" is also the best personal-investment guide on the market. Unlike the phony junk in the get-rich-quick aisles of bookstores -- "How to Become a Billionaire in Twenty Seconds with Nothing Down" -- Swensen's advice is specific and practical. I commend "Unconventional Success" as containing all that most people need to know about rational investment decisions and retirement saving.
