How to Choose an Online Broker
Tuesday, August 16th, 2011Professional traders who feel comfortable making their own stock market trading decisions choose the stocks they invest in without consulting brokers. In doing so, they save commission fees, but more importantly have the freedom to execute trades in real-time. Online brokers have proliferated in the past decade because of these two reasons.
By being their own brokers, traders can save money. However, many participants decide they are not confident in choosing their own stocks and therefore hire a broker to make the trading decisions.
Traders should follow criteria before choosing an online brokerage.
1. Always stay on top of the news through publications such as; Barron, Investors Business Daily, and most importantly The Wall Street Journal. Get familiar with the most well-known online brokerages so you can get an idea of what they are offering. Do the research to know what stock market trading platform will offer a trader the most leverage and best deals on the investments they make.
2. Always take a look at the sites of the online brokers so you can read through the terms and conditions. By checking the minimum balance required in opening an account, including the additional charges and fees, you can determine whether this is an online brokerage that you would want to be part of. If you can see that you are paying more than what you would like, consider other stock market trading platform that better suits you.
3. Review the cost of every stock for the broker. Choose the one that has a structure that complements your stock market trading strategies. A flat fee is generally a good sign, as opposed to a tiered structure that still depends on how you trade as well as the how the market is trading. If you go for the latter, then your number of shares primarily depends on the stocks that you buy and sell.
4. Always make sure the online broker has a strong online presence. Since this is online trading, it is very important that you conduct negotiations with the brokerage firm so they can support you on trading questions and decisions.
Finally, be secure with your decisions. Even if you have an online broker assisting you, if you are not confident with your decision you will always find yourself on the losing side. Decide steadfastly and never second-guess.

IRA Investing for Your Retirement
Sunday, October 3rd, 2010These days when the economy is down not enough of us have enough money saved for retirement. Social security is anything but a sure thing and many of our companies don’t have a pension we can rely on, therefore we must choose between a Roth vs Traditional IRA to supplement our retirement savings.
Traditional IRAs are a retirement account that lets us invest money on a tax deferred basis. What this means is you invest your money now and you don’t owe tax money until later when you retire and begin using the money you have saved. If your tax rate is lower when you retire then you come out ahead here.
If you think you may have a higher tax rate when you retire then a Roth IRA might be a better option. A Roth IRA allows you to invest now and pay taxes on it but when you withdraw your money when you retire then you don’t owe taxes on it. Not everyone qualifies for a Roth IRA so consult your financial planner to see if you qualify.
Children Want Life Insurance Too

The next time you are thinking about insurance, be sure to research life insurance as it can be used as an investment strategy to gain a large sum of money in the future. Think about what you or your child would do if they had an extra $10,000 to spend. Would you buy that home you wanted or help pay for college? Receiving large sums of money and not knowing what to do with it is a good problem to have.
