Plays into the left’s mantra of “destroying the 1st amendment rights of an open press”.

If the reporter’s info was correct, I’d agree. But the MSM uses their reporting to massage the public and make things go their way - propaganda.

I've had a Scottrade account $7 each end but a little high until you think about paying someone else. They are merging with Americatrade, deal made, will be implemented soon. I saw Charles Schwab has online trading but didn't look into the rates or if a member can control his own account.

I was wondering how a lot could have lost money the other day. Then I remembered that most stocks I put stop if it dropped to or below a certain amount. But if I was online and watching, I didn't always like or use stops, haven't traded for awhile which is kind of a shame considering where I was when I got out and where it is now.

I don't know if institutional brokers use stops.

I never wanted to risk buying on margin though. If you are good enough at it, maybe it's a good idea to play with OPM.

I disagree. I think this is a bit out of line.

Call the network on it's standards, don't try to get lawyers involved. Plays into the left's mantra of "destroying the 1st amendment rights of an open press".

Thats weird you say that. I've been seeing lots of libtards repeating that line where conservatives want to destroy a free press. It's almost like it is their latest talking points to help save their propaganda media.

Any conservative should understand we DO NOT have a free press at the moment or at least what the MSM represents as a so-called "free press". It's nothing more than propaganda outlets for the DC swamp.

There is nothing wrong with with exploiting and taking down this corrupt press so I don't understand why you would disagree with what President Trump did. If anything, it could accelerate the downfall of this corrupt press even faster. President Trump is a genius.

Their knowing LIES cost many quite a sum, and deserve
a Complaint being filed — including as a Class Action.

A class action by those of us who lost money.

Then, have the SEC investigate to see if any ABC/Disney top thugs sold the market indexes short.

SEC needs to investigate Disney/ABC and do what you posted.

Any sob shorting the market before their fake news needs to be charged by the SEC.

You posted:

It would be interesting to know the stock market activities, of the news staff and senior management at ABC, just before the fake news, and just after the correction.

If any of them shorted the market in advance of the fake news, or went long after the drop, but before the correction was aired — they should be investigated. Doubly so, if they were on the winning side of both transactions.”

Also, check and see if any $inators or congre$$its did some short selling before the Disney/ABC fake news that slammed our markets.

We have used Fidelity for decades for our 401k’s, IRA’mas and buying bank cds with a fair % interest.

Go with Fido or another outfit which will let you buy and sell ETF’s or index funds at a low buy in cost and a low selling cost.

With these funds set a maximum % you can lose like 15% if the market heads south. This is called a stop loss order.

During the Bush years on our $ , I kept our stop loss to 10%. We went on a cruise for a couple of weeks,he and I recalced the stop loss at 5% based on the latest $ value per share.

During that cruise the market headed south big time. The internet on the cruise was slow and erratic. I would not sell or buy any stocks on a cruise ships internet.

Our losses were minimal.

Below is an interesting link comparing Fido’s buy and sell for etf’s versus Vanguard.

Here is a good how to re ETF’s and index funds.

lol - I known the feeling. I tend to follow a few dozen big name companies that pay decent dividends. They all have ups/downs. I’ll buy some on a down, if it goes down some more, and the fundamentals are still ok, I’ll buy more.

A good stock that has had a downward P/E ratio trend is more likely to have some upside. ...just make sure there’s no red flags, like dwindling revenue, cash flow, or sudden increases in debt.

In general, I always make money, maybe not in the very short term but I usually come out well ahead in a few months. The ones where I’ve lost were riskier companies, lesser known - where I thought they’d be the “next thing”. For those types, you need to be a pro - there’s just no way to follow things close enough. I learned to stay away from them.

But it's not true!!! Why cower to the libtards over something we know is not true and very corrupt??? You failed to read what else I wrote. They are just talking points to help save their propaganda press. There is no way we should cower to them, NONE. This corrupt press needs to go down and Thank God we have a President that understands this as well.

Vanguard is a brokerage house. The advisors at VG are fiduciaries unlike Merrill,Schwab and all the other massive Brokerage Houses.

There is a big dif between a VG advisor and a broker at Merrill ect,as you know.

Saying “call a broker” is a bit to broad(way to broad) for me and should be for anyone else looking for a decent financial advisor/help.
Especially some one that is asking that question indicating they are ripe for getting screwed by your garden variety “broker” that has a history of being a frigen crook.

Hope that helps

Anybody that thinks they will make a dime off of ABC and their fake news and has no clue about the market should maybe not worry about it.

Go ahead and throw out your advice.
