What's the best stock / options trading platform?

Question

I need to know what is the most recommended / best-rated trading platform. Thank you.

Answer 1

Try Crest and Colgate .

Even though we are in a recession right now people will always have to brush their teeth and colgate have a habit of rising their dividend each year therefore you don't need to even worry about the stock price just buy the stock at a low price and collect dividend every 3 month(dividend have little to do with stock price) dividend are the same year round but stock price change so you need to buy stock at a low peice lets say $50per share and a dividend of $4 if you wait til the price drop to $40 the dividend will still be $4 which means you get higher return.

Also try potash companies(do researches first)

Potashes are just nutrient for plants with the rising potash price and food prices along with growing population world wide the demand for food will go up and if the food prices go up the demand for potash will increase too.

Answer 3

I would say Charles Swchab. I'm not much of an investor but my friends say that Swchab is really easy to use and very reliable.

If you want to go for more of a in person kind of thing go for Edwards and Fidelity.

Answer 4

IG Index are good, they're also the first place that I know of that allow you to bet with a guaranteed stop that will not close out the position. If the market is volatile and swings back in your favour the next day then you're back in the money without having to have a crazy amount of margin against your position.

Their software is good, and they offer a good trader education program over a period of 6 weeks if you need it.
