Yeah, 2007. I did a search and this was near the top. I didn't feel like slapping it in the economy thread, and this is a newb thread and I am a newb, it felt right.

My rather limited investments are split 50-50 between stocks and bonds pretty much right now, Municipal Bonds are generally solid as far as I'm aware (its where I have most of mine) but pay decent rates of interest.

(basically with them unless the city or local goverment goes bust you'll get your money - this is a pretty darn rare occurance)

Hey guys, I am thinking of doing some small (1-2k) investing on my own, does anyone have any experience with Scottrade or any of the other DIY discount brokers?

I have been leaning toward Scottrade, simply for price and simplicity, and I like the way the research is displayed on the site. Any other pros or cons for them or any others?

dola!

Finally got around toward opening my first investment accout. I went with Scottrade. I hope I can be successful. I have a feeling that there are some really good buying ops out there, but I am a bit of an optimist when it comes to that stuff.

This thread is full of gems like this.

And it gives me a chance to post one of my favorite Daily Show clips of all time:

"While Kramer wasn't giving up on Bear at $69, in 11 days the stock market was more comfortable with it at (Jon looks at script for comic pause) 2"

SI
