3/16    Anyone with experience with online trading? Is it reliable? Good?
        Bad? Is etrade all that?
        \_ if you hang out on the stocks newsgroups you'll find that etrade
           has by far the most complaints. I trade with DATEK and it's ok
           for light trading, but if you're into daytrading you definitely
           don't want to trade online, EVERY service has failed badly at one
           point or another.                            -nolram
        \_ etrade sucks.  waterhouse seems OK.
                \_ Waterhouse is good.  Only problem is you can't purchase
                   IPO stocks online.  I guess it's a safety feature to prevent
                   users from buying volatile stocks.
           \_ Etrade does NOT suck.  How often do you trade?  If you're a
              long term buy and hold type of investor that likes a lot of
              research and information and powerful features, then etrade is
              a good choice.  It's not the cheapest, but then again, do you
              want the cheapest?  You get what you pay for, you know.
              want the cheapest?  You get what you pay for, you know.  They
              have good connections in the industry so you have access to
              IPOs.  Take a look at http://www.gomez.com to see independent rating
              on online brokers and banks.
              disclaimer:  I am an account holder AND an investor in etrade.
                \_ Etrade sucks if you ever attempt to call customer service.
                   I've also not found anything in the research which isn't
                   available and better organized at http://yahoo.com.  I am
                   cancelling my e-trade account after they failed to send
                   me a brokerage transfer form after asking at least three
                   separate times and being told "it's in the mail".  -tom
           \_ Etrade crashes a lot

5/17    Tech stocks at all time high & Bay Area traffic and housing crisis
        is now worse than 2001. BUBBLE 2.0 BEWARE!!!
        \_ This time it is no bubble, at least not yet. Wake me up again
           when the Nasdaq hits an inflation adjusted record.
        \_ I don't know if this bubble qualifies as a tech bubble or a bubble
           at all.  Last weekend I saw hiring signs at McDonald's, Macy's and

2/16    Stocks for the long run? Maybe not:

        \_ um, ok, so what are better alternative investments?
           \_ Real Estate? Gold? Bonds? CDs?
              They all whooped stocks in the last decade.
              I believe in a balanced approach.

1/18    I own a bunch of NFLX stocks bought at several different periods
        (from high $200 all the way down to $80). I dumped a few and
        still have a few. Why the hell is Reid Hastings still making
        $500,000/year? How do I join the pending NFLX Class Action
        Lawsuit?

12/9    A public company (NASDAQ/NYSE) needs to publicly disclose
        important information right? Is there a way to find data that
        shows who owns most of the stocks, when they're dumping (to measure
        their confidence in the company), and how many people are shorting?
        \_ It has been a few years since I took a business organizations
           course, but from what I remember, there isn't a requirement for

10/24  If I trade my 401K stock on a quarterly basis (reshuffle/reallocate),
       are the gains considered capital gains?  How much is taxed on 401K gains?
       \_ You don't pay taxes on your 401k until you withdraw it.
          \_ Plus you can re-invest your gains again and again without being
             taxed first.  E.g. if you invest $1000 and gain $100, you can
             re-invest the whole $1100, without being taxed on the $100 first,

6/27    What are your favorite metal trading platform? Is Kitco any good?
        I heard that Kitco doesn't report to IRS whereas Etrade
        automatically sends info to IRS. I'm wondering what I should use.
        \_ I trade tapes on Ebay.
        \_ I buy the physical stuff from a dealer in Chinatown who does not
           even take my name, just my money.
