Hi all,
I was thinking of taking about $7,000 to $8,000 of my HPSP bonus and investing it before the stock market shoots up again.
I am certain I want to do this. However, I don't want to pay outrageous fees and crap like that.
I have been looking at Vanguard ETFs. Since I am young, 23, I am into "high risk" for better returns over the long haul. I wont need the money for a long while, due to my stipend and all that, and I'll still have most of the rest of the bonus available...
So I have been thinking Vanguard or going with Etrade or Ameritrade or something like that. I was wondering if anyone here had any experience with the online brokers and was willing to share?
I was also considering getting some individual stocks (I think Microsoft is going to try and buy Yahoo! again, and it's cheap as dirt right now) and again was wondering which is the best online broker to use.
Thanks.
