TIA!

Now, I'm just trying to decide where the best place to manage my online stocks would be. Scottrade anyone?

I recommend Schwab, but I have not seen ScottTrades website, especially if you are an Investor. When you open a Schwab account, you have access to tons of information..IMO.


I don't talk much about my holdings or strategies, but I always thought that 5% in PM's was part of my Diversity plan...Although I have gone much higher than that, it is a personal choice, and I will NEVER be able to recommend it..


But this thread is based on other methods that should be used...If you want to throw in some metals, 5%, that is a personal choice, but one i can't recommend, even though I am in i

But this thread is about doing your homework and being satisfied with what you own because you understand it..That is what I am doing.. But I cannot recommend it..
