I haven’t been doing much with stocks, but I have been doing well with currency trading.
Check out [fxcm.com](http://fxcm.com). 24 hours is nice as well.
I did a lot of research beforehand though. You can lose a LOT of money if you don’t know what you are doing.

I opened a Scottrade account when the Dow was below 7k. Threw in my tax refund expecting to work some day trading wizardry and then make it rain in the clubs. Read stock websites. Studied P/E charts. Talked to other traders.
End result? I lost 50% of my initial investment. Never touching that fucking shit again.

I trade in a mutual stock for my long term goals, bought them at their all time low about 2 months ago so I am def. making money there.
I also invest in penny stocks. VERY risky but if you really do your research and know how to work this you it can be very lucrative. I have had mixed results with these types of stocks. Mostly positive though.

I got them as a gift quite a while ago. I actually think the shares split or something because I think I only had 2.5 before.

I bought gold when Obamagot elected. Twas smart.
Due to the 1st time home buyer tax credit of $8,000, there will be a ton of retail spending when people start getting their tax checks in spring… buy retail stocks. I say Wal-Mart as an bvious potential option. Check value today, check this thread again next summer/fall.
