QUOTE(GHz @ Aug 31 2009, 05:28 PM) if you have not deposit any money. why not try open acc with sogo & see if you like it or not. Already make a deposit last week and traded liao. Actually Interactive broker is cheaper but you need to have min deposit of $10k.   Security is my main consent, so I choose optionxpress since many member here have experience with it. |

Any possibility of sogotrade collapse? If you say it under SIPC. Nothing is free. I read somewhere that we may need to pay some fee as to ensure the money invest is save. Is it correct?

The share will open with the last price that matched during pre-market trade.QUOTE(kelynn0713 @ Aug 31 2009, 09:11 PM) i got buy some share wor...tell me what to do now?? Do analysis on which stock that you want to buy. Check its FA and TA. And wait for retracement then long on dips.  |

To be safe, buy in stages.September is gonna be bear month i hope, so we can all rope in MORE! Example: GE buy 100 units 13.78 x 100 = 1378$ + 10 fee = 1388 then if drop to 13 buy again say 150 = 1950 +10 = 1960 and so on, if that is your long haul target.  |
