ONLINE STOCK TRADING

Friday, October 10th, 2008

Online stock trading has come a long way in the last seven to eight years. For awhile, it was a novelty, and many felt comfortable picking up the phone and calling the broker.

Gradually, as more information became available, and as the PC and internet connections got faster, people liked the idea of being able to do the trades themselves.

Of course, the savings involved were a major catalyst for driving more and more traders to become more involved with online stock trading.

For me, it is a comfort level. I have become much more involved in managing my portfolio because of the easy access. All I have to do is hit a few keys and I get the different summaries I need to make an informed trade.

I have definitely become more active, too. Whereas, in the old days, when I would read through the endless stock tables in the Chicago Tribune or Wall Street Journal, I would forget what I wanted to do by the end of the day. Now, portfolio management is in front of me all day.

With the market today, thats a good thing. I been on this market like a hawk, but, oddly, I havent made too many trades. Im for holding steady. And the only reason for that is, Ive been pretty conservative over the last year. Ive keep things in Blue Chips to a large degree, but also have had some holdings in emerging markets. Im too young to be totally risk adverse.

Im not convinced that the governments action will correct anything in the long run. Any action will be more like a band-aid. This may mean Ill end up selling into this, but I have a ways to go on the downside.

Online stock trading has made a difference in how I work the market, and I think it has for millions of others. I wouldnt change it.
