I just trade through my bank (RBC). It's limited, and the comission is high. I'll have to look into an alternative.

I would stay away personally. They still have a labor strike going on. It could let up tomorrow and the stock could jump, or it could go for weeks and affect earnings in a big way. If that dreamliner thing gets pushed (likely) or they pull out or miss the tanker contract deadline (also likely), the stock will get hurt more.

I recently switched from E*Trade to Zecco, but I gotta say if you're doing a retirement account E*Trade is the way to go because there are no custodial fees. They charge a steep quarterly fee for brokerage accounts, though, so if you're just trading for fun and profit go with Zecco.

Yeah I won't try to pick a bottom on BA, especially not in the current situation.
Edit: Feds might cut rates again. Gold is rising.

Ubisoft was up almost 4% today, after some firm announced they bought X number of shares and now hold 5% of the companie's shares.
If Ubi has a good holiday period this will be a big relief for me (I own no shares but I work there)
EDIT: IMMR up 10%, wtf.

So what opinion do you folks here have on WaMu (WM)? My brother - who typically is a very smart guy with money and I trust far more than myself for financial situations - is tossing a bit of money ($3500 or so) into them because he thinks that they'll be in a decent position once all of the current market freak-out is over with. (Okay, so that's a VERY simplistic rewording of the long explanation of why he said he thought they would be worth the gamble.)
Anybody else around here taking a chance (have taken? sticking with?) on them?

I've always noticed how they always try to relate market fluctuations even when they have no clear indications that said fluctuations are related, which often leads to contradictive headlines (on any sites really).

If by "decent position" your brother means "part of JP Morgan&Chase" then he's right. Otherwise...
kathode said:
Yup, its strange. The decision to leave the interest rate at the same percentage was the best thing the Fed could have done right now. They should not lower it anymore.
Also, I am happy Goldman managed to survive this time around without going into red. I've always considered them the most stable, and steady of the investment bankers (plus I am biased since I have great ties with them) so even though they didn't do that well, they survived.
ALeperMessiah said:
Well, JP Morgan was the other company he was talking about. But, while he said that there's always the possibility that WaMu could go down, he thought all things considered they were in a position to ride things out and do fine.
But, either way, I'm grossly over-simplifying what he said, which isn't fair. I'm just curious if anybody else is thinking that they're a good chance to take.

Nice move rage.
IMMR up 13% is crazy, lol, one day after I sold them. But I would have never made my money back anyway.

I didn't want to admit it but I bought 100 of ABX.TO at 29.50 after the possibility of a rate cut :lol
I don't regret it tho (yet).
ERTS is still interesting, but I have no faith in their potential this holiday, not enough yet anyway.

Government announces $85 billion loan to save AIG
http://biz.yahoo.com/ap/080916/aig.html
That. Is a lot of money.
What other huge player could fall that would end up NOT being bailed out because of too much money having already been loaned?
EDIT: Am I the only one who can't click on "Edit Portfolio" on Yahoo's front page, nor the stock symbols?
EDIT2: Damn the defense sector, they've been holding out nicely through all this mess for the past two years!
