I know I won't as I made some money in the stock market last year when it bottomed out. They were all short term sells so my tax rate will be way higher.

Lets give Kikicoco a warm welcome to the Gladiator team. He's pushed his hardware as hard as he could, contributed to this community and has a real passion for overclocking

Lol Short term is not selling short :p

Short selling takes some ballz, imo. I play my hand long and strong.

Nah I'm a bull all the way. Just buy low and sell high. Stocks were sittin really too pretty end of 2008. Bought AMD at like $1.85 or so and Ford at like $1.45. Sold AMD around $7 ish and Ford at $5 ish. Could of held out longer but shit it was a bumpy ride back then and any profit was well profit. Gots me a bunch of high dividend yielding stocks now. Averaging about 9.5% annual. Not too bad.

what do you guys use for stocks ?

[DrNip]

I have Ameritrade for my stocks and Fidelity for my IRA which consist of mutual funds. Ameritrade is cheaper to trade with on stocks. I have a Zecco account and use to love them but they have changed a few things around and not too fond of them. Of course they are only $4.99 a trade which is nice but I was trading for them in the beginning when you got 20 free trades a month. I quit them beginning of this year. Sold everything and transfered my funds. Damn interest rate on my savings account just didn't cut the mustard. I love trading like I love overclocking,

I loved Fidelity and the way they do things related to the info you can get and the options you have for doing whatever within your 401K. We had them at work for a few years, then the switch was made to Puttman and I don't like the way theirs is setup. I could manage things way better with Fidelity than what Puttman has for options plus Fidelity's site made more sense and had good explanations on what was what.... Puttman's site has you guessing all the time with not alot of help for knowing what's going on in comparison.

As to stocks, haven't got into that yet but I need to learn more about that before diving in.

BTW, if we are going to start talking about finances, maybe this needs it's own post topic....

Just answered a few questions that were asked. That's all. No harm no foul.
