I followed some ‘theories’ but every stock trade just resulted in me paying out a minimum of 1% in fees just to buy it. My returns were crippled. THEN Etrade & Ameritrade started their "account maintenance fees" of 15 – 20 dollars every 3 months. That was 1-2% percent of all the money I had! It was awful.

If I had to do it over again, I’d go with no fee DRIPS (dividend reinstment plans). I’d pick a strong company with good dividend returns (I’ve done well with Southern Company (SO)) and let the money sit there. Why? It’s not a glamorous investment.. it’s not going to get me 10% in a month but with investing.. you need to have something that will give you solid, predictable gains. That way you have backup when you do riskier ones… it’s called diversification.

If I didn’t want something that safe.. I’d go with an EFT. EFT stands for exchange traded funds. They’re a select group of stocks that are bought.. and then rarely sold unless necessary. In other words, they’re passively managed. This saves you money in two ways – for one, you don’t have to pay a big shot group of people for their continual oversight and trading of your basket of stocks.. and two.. it minimizes your tax burden. During the stock market crash in 99-00, mutual fund holders were not only paying high fee loads while the value of their mutual fund plummeted.. they also had capital gain tax to pay. That sucks.

You can pay tax on a mutual fund that decreases in value if your manager sells funds that have increased in value (thus earning money and making you pay tax on it) while not selling stocks that are losing money (and therefore not offsetting the gain)

So in summary.. consider two things. DRIP plans and EFT funds. Ishares is a company that trades in a lot of EFT funds.. there’s also one I’ve been eyeing for awhile.. symbol EEM. Developing countries EFT.. unbelievable performance w/in the last year.

Anyway food for thought. Just pay attention to your costs of trading – whether it be mutual fund expenses or stock trading expenses.

The best automated forex trading software may not exactly come cheap, but if you are just starting out you have a lot of free options available to you. You can visit online brokers which offer demo and free accounts which you can use to practice your skills on, as well as learning software to help you get started.

Some sites may require a small startup fee, which you don’t have to worry about if you plan to go forward and start your very own account. You can also go for internet-based automated forex trading software. One advantage of this type of currency trading software is that it is accessible where there is an internet connection.

That means you can still check-up on your stocks even while on vacation. Another perk is that there is no need to store important data on your pc, which can be lost in the unfortunate event of a hard disk crash. If you are hesitant about relying on your own judgment when it comes to choosing an forex trading software, you can ask for assistance from your broker or dealer. He or she may be able to recommend software which will work best with your type of investment.

Another tip is to ask fellow brokers by posting your queries on the forums. Forums are the best places to network and get your questions answered the quickest. You might also get a few tips from fellow forex brokers on what currency trading software to avoid.

Forex and futures tend to have lower commissions and fees.

The principles of trading all three are the same. You can make or lose money in any of them.
