IT has many benefits that provide what I need now with as someone else stated low transaction costs. All we have right now that isn't my ING or Capitol One accounts is roughly 500$ so scottrade was about it at this time besides sharebuilder. I've done some research and I'm watching some stocks I'm intereted in and I will continue to research. I was just hoping for some other input. My husband has 401k, I have stock with my company already, I have two online savings accounts along with my hometown checking and savings. We have a good start. But now I want to start in some long term investments that I won't need to touch for ten years or more since I am only 23 and he is only 31 we won't be retiring anytime soon. I thought it would be safe to get in while I am still young so I can learn and have better chances at a better retirement. I know that there are a few individual stocks that I want and I'm interested in index's.
