Stock Market

[ginz111]

Ok for the first time in my life I have decided to buy stock.  I figured since the market is in the toilet now is the time to buy.  I am not throwing huge amounts of money in.  I am starting slow getting my feet wet.  I went with Zecco Trade for four reasons. 

1. All trades only $4.50 each. 
2. No minumum balance
3. All trades free for month of october!!
4. 10 free trades a month with a $2500 balance.

I am looking for some good stocks under $10 a share.  I am looking at NTGR.  They have no debt and the company is rock solid and the stock is a steal right now in my opinion.  Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.

Hey Carl,

Good idea. I use tradeking.

I also recommend the website investopedia.com. There a great deal of information there both advice and education topics to assist you in making informed decisions. I also subscribe to chartadvisor.com. That too has some good information at times.

You should also consider DRPS (or DRIPS) as they are known. Here is an information site, although I dont specifically recommend it, I just know of it. It may be a great site though.

As I encounter any good deals, I'll clue you in. Right now, Im taking a beating, but, I dont want to get in-and-out during the volatility. Im in for the long haul and will just ride it out.

Thanks Adam!

I am taking a good hit and I have been in the market just about 10 days now.  I am in it for the long haul.  I am hoping that the market will make a comeback soon.  Stocks are so affordable right now.  I feel like its a good idea to keep buying right now.  Do you feel that the market was just overpriced, and that is why its at where it is at now?

Ford is down in the $2/share range... Thought about buying some. If they go out, the whole country is screwed.
