Good luck on armchair arbitrage. Every bank in the world has a computer network doing nothing else but exploiting/eliminating FX arbitrage to the thousandth of a percent. Including automatic execution of FX positions.

revived this thread from search. I have money too invest. I already have proctor gamble and coke but I got some extra $ and going too set up a
Scott trade account any ideas. Dow and Nasdaq are out but any others that are at a cheap buy would be nice preferably 15.00-20.00 a share would be my max.

If you don't have the time or inclination to do your own research, toss your money into a high yield bond fund.

I'd make sure your IRAs are fully funded first.

So long as you fund it through margin calls it can't fail to work out fine.

I have the time, going too get a Scott trade account when my dad gets back from Utah. Looking for tips and pointers. I tried looking up youtube vidoes on how Scott trade works but it mainly shows a lame commercial. Just seeing if anyone here had stock for a while and if they just leave it alone or hit that trade button every day. I already have a couple of company's in mind.

Personally I wouldn't waste my time investing in stocks, takes way too much time and research to do on your own and isn't as simple as picking a company you like. There's so many factors and people who are looking for the same value who are putting in more work using formulas and valuation steps. I would just put the money into a safer investment like  a CD or Bond or hire a broker to help me with trading.

I don't think we should have a sticky for a stocks thread, but I DO think THIS thread about a poll about making a sticky for a stocks thread, should, in and of itself, be a sticky.
