I recollect conference the convo in between friends the prolonged time ago about buying, trade as well as offered batch online. It was ostensible to be the 24hr thing. You had to have certain we sole all by the finish of the day. I’m certain not all places work which way, but, it held my attention. However, I do not know anything about it. I am utterly ignoramus when it comes to stock, bonds, as well as the buying, offered as well as trade of. Can any one assistance with what they know?
Believe it or not, I conclude Scottsoffen’s answer. Though I do not hold it to be the most appropriate of this array of answers, it is honest. That most I appreciate. However, the reason I have posted this subject is since it is usually my initial step in the prolonged routine of report gathering. Later I will try to find the crony with an MBA. Thanks Scottsoffen

Yes. They’re expensive and their customer service SUCKS. I left them to go to ScotTrade. But I tell you what, you should learn about asset allocation. The one thing I learned from all those years of investing is that I really AM NOT smarter than all those high-paid professionals who manager mutual funds and can’t even beat the market themselves. A truly diversified portfolio consisting of a mix of dramatically different index funds of your choice. Get a book called The Intelligent Asset Allocator: How to Build Your Portfolio to Maximize Returns and Minimize Risk — by William J. Bernstein. Good luck!
As a professional investor, your best place to start is a little education. Use investopedia.com, it phenomenal in its strategies and knowledge. All your trading can be tailored to what you want your gameplan to be, whether you want it as an income or you want to make billions. Send me an email anytime.
This isn’t the answer you want to hear, but I’ll give it to you anyway. If you are “completely illierate when it comes to stocks, bonds and teh buying, selling and trading of” then you are the sucker that other investors are going to reap their profits from. You wouldn’t go into a poker game against professional poker players knowing that you weren’t in their league, and you shouldn’t waste your time trying to beat the pros in the stock market.
Find a friend who has an MBA, and let them help you choose some low-cost Vanguard index funds. You won’t “wow” anyone with your returns, but at least you won’t be taken for a ride.
The Stock Market is not Open 24 Hours a Day.
If you want to know when they Open and when they Close I suggest you to visit the New York Stock Exchange Web Site and the NASDAQ Web Site.
You don’t have to sell everything by the end of the day and most people keep their shares for years. Some families never sell and they actually pass the shares to their children when they die.
If you want to invest in the Stock Market you can open a brokerage account at ETrade right now. It only takes 15 minutes or less.
Visit them for more detailed information.
After you have your account open I can advice you.

dude they are expensive…
You can enter orders online 24 hours a day at any on-line brokerage. However, they will not be executed until the market opens. Regular US market hours are 9:30-4:00 Eastern. I assume any on-line broker will let you trade after-hours, which has an indefinite ending time. I don’t know who is trading in the “pre-market”, but something is happening before the regular market open.
No broker will force you to sell your stocks every day. Hard-core day-traders do that voluntarily but that is not where you want to start if you are “illiterate”.
Instead of surfing I suggest you talk to someone who really knows something about investing and isnt’ trying to get money out of you. People who are successful at any type of investing would love to tell you about it, whether it’s stocks, real estate, art, or anything.
