ParticipantI am looking for a broker too. What I need is free trade, no account inactivity fee, high-interest rate for my unused money, level II quote, and the availability of mutual funds, options, currency and commodity. I haven’t found a broker that meets all these criteria. These are some I have come across.
ZECCO: free trade, but that’s about it. They pay a low 1% for free money.
IB: low trading price ( 2$ round trip) if you trade 10 times a month; pay a good rate for unused money; there is, however, an inactivity fee if you trade less than 10 times a month.
MB: seems similar to IB, but there is no inactivity fee; I don’t really understand their pricing though.
Here is a list for more:

The September look ahead is good. But, I would guess
there is an annual playbook that would be good to
be aware of.Anyone have a link to something like that?”

ParticipantOk, calling people clueless was uncalled for. You are assuming so many things about someone you don’t even know, kind of like I did when I called people clueless. I never said technical analysis is foolproof. My strategy doesn’t work 100% of the time. In fact, I am wrong 40% of the time. I don’t trade on margin. You are right about the stock market being a game. But it is a game much like blackjack and poker where skill and experience are essential to winning. I will explain to you why people with PHD fail in this game. Actually one of your statement gives you the answer already. This game is an art. It is not a science where 1 + 1 = 2. If it were, then all the math majors would make a killing.
ParticipantWhat conspiracy? The government has always favored inflation over recession. If rates are high, companies won’t be able to expand. People will get laid off. The economy will suffer. They are trying to keep the economy from sinking into a recession. There is no conspiracy. I am one of those technical traders who consistently make money in the stock market, whether it goes up or down. It gives me good laugh to hear the clueless talk.
ParticipantDavelj,
you don’t like this stock or stocks in general? I am just curious.

Houston has entered my mind, but the high property there taxes make me think twice. Some folks will be quick to say, “but we don’t have income tax.” Big deal. Your income might go down, but property taxes don’t go down. You might lose your job one day. You might make less money one day. Whether you make 100K a year or 0K a year, you still have that high property tax to pay.

Seriously, the Feds are like parent banks and all the other banks are children banks. The parent banks have to help out the children banks when they get in trouble.
