Dr. Atomic, I know, you must be a rocket scientist with a handle like that with such a short fuse

I have to take the 5th on that one brother.
Like I said before I'm just here to learn. Why can't we all just get along? I'm new to trading and very green yes, but that does not mean I am an inbred. I'm 27 years old I own 2 small homes, have a legitmate business set up out of 1 of them, no its not moving 10 kilo's of coke! I have some investment capital that I would like to put in the stock market. You all started somewhere right? Or were you all just born stock pro's? I could buy another home but I would rather learn something new and maybe better in the long run. I'm just a normal guy with a wife 2 dogs and 2 cats trying to make life I little better for us.
Atomic, good for you. Just put the lousy $10k in some mutual fund and forget about all this trading bullshit. Virtually 90% of the posters here lose money, so how would you be any different?! The other 10% aren't going to reveal jackshit to you, so don't even bother.

The average guy does not make 10k every two weeks...But I guess I would trade anyways...
This is a traders board. We lose money here we don't invest it...
But I would say go to www.interactivebrokers.com if you want to trade equities, like a previous poster recommended.

I have been tracking myself on paper for the last year and have been doing very well. I have no doubt in my mind I will make money. This money is risk capital and I am going to risk it. As far as most people not making 10K every 2 weeks please. I have a friend in the loan business that made over 500K last year. Hell I got a buddy in construction that gets 60 dollars an hour. Now thats only about 5K every 2 weeks but thats for pounding a freaking nail. Not to bad. The 10K that I start out with is chump change like I said. Even if I doubled up in a years thats nothing. I plan on having 250K in stock by age 30.
Give him a break - If he wants to lose $10,000 trading, let him at it, who knows, his losses might be our gains.
Atomic asked "What online broker is best?"
I would recommend E-Trade (I do not know anything about the others) because I use them and am very satisfied. It is a great B/D to learn on because it has a lot of features that are free. You can goto their website for a demo.

If this link does not work - goto etrade.com - click on 'trading & portfolios' and then click on 'power etrade' - You can see a demo of their features. I understand they are offering 100 free trades to new Power Etrade customers.
