Anyone know of a good stock tracking website? I mean as a whole as well not just once stock at a time.
Also anyone know a good site for buying stocks? Unfortunately me and a friend missed out on the big apple explosion a few months ago.

What? The talking baby commercials don't leave an indelible impression? C'mon, that's how advertising works!!!!
Personally, I use TDAmeritrade.. but I don't have my lunch money invested and I ain't rich yet.

lol I was going to say eTrade but that's the only one I could think of off the top of my head and I never had used it... On an unrelated note Babies are cute.

Are those sites free?
Edit:hmm they both offer 60 day free trials

Honestly, if you have to ask these questions on a BBS dedicated to an online game, you might want to rethink your ideas about trading. You don't seem to be equipped to do your own research and will likely lose your shirt.
That said, I have used TDAmeritrade with no problems, but I don't do a whole lot of trading. I'm more of a value investor. I look for solid companies with a low multiple to buy into and hold for a period of time.

Im not searching solely here. I am trying to remember the name of a site but I cant and thought maybe someone here would mention it. Also I was hoping to get input as to which site is better then this site.

zecco is cheap

I currently use sharebuilder. By far my favorite.
-
You can also avoid the brokers and get your name put directly on the books of a company when you buy their shares...It makes selling a little difficult, but at least you get tons of proxy voting mail (makes you feel important) and a real check for the dividends. The last check I got from Disney for my one share was 18 cents (postage cost them more). Its just another way to look at it.

TDameritrade would be a good option,I have free access to the Canuk version but rarely use it. My wife works for TD up here so I can access her employee account.
Afew years back I did purchase some share through it,bought a few Google shares in 07!
:salute
PS: thank you mad money! :aok

Speaking of Stocks, anyone know of a good Stork tracking page? I'm going to make sure none ever come near my house!

I tend to agree with this, however if you do fancy yourself as a bit of a Gordon Gekko ...
Google and Yahoo both have decent tools for setting up portfolios and tracking stocks, plus all the news and historical data you'll need, so you can do a dry run for a few months and see how you get on before starting trading with you hard earned.
who you trade with will depend very much on the kind of trading you are doing, their charge structure will determine which one is right for you (as far as I can tell the "tools" they provide are all pretty similar, and generally no better than google or yahoo.)

imho
Best broker/trading platform: Interactive Brokers
Best Charting/Scanning: Stockcharts
Best Stock Screener: FINVIZ
IB and Stockcharts is all you'll ever need. FINVIZ Screener is good for finding comapnies within specific search criteria.
I've been trading 10 years and full time for past 3 years.

Gix <S> how are you buddy

I remember joining e-trade at one time.
I got a call from one of their people saying they had a $500 minimum needed in the account, leading me to believe that they were in the "interest" business.
Find a REAL broker you trust that has a quantifiable track record with a reputable brokerage house. He/She will help you to start slow and deversify.
-
All brokers will have a minimum account balance required, if it's margin account minimum might be $20,000 plus.

I've used Sharebuilder as well, don't have much in there now.
Made a good deal off Ford a few years ago. :aok
I make no monthly payments and am not aware of any minimum amount. I've just do a fee per trade because I would rather hold them a long time.
-
I'm not a big volume technical day trader, so I find a Charles Schwab account and a IBD subscription does me just fine. Did take a look at the finwiz site and have to agree that is a good one - I love having plenty of insider trading info.

There is many sites. Mourning star , bloomberg is a couple. I think even MSN you can use your MS email account login and password and track a few companies. There is pay for sites and then there is the software like worden brothers for tracking stock and also many other features.
Just checked, MSN has portfolio manager and I would think Yahoo would also, just google and start looking.
