- But after a series of steps, Scottrade greenlighted the investing part of my economic stimulus. The verification process, done through Scottrade's tool called MoneyDirect, deposited two odd amounts into my bank account.
- I confirmed the amounts.
- Scottrade validated me. (Scottrade is taking back the amounts now as its last step of the verification process. Not that I could have done much with the pennies since both amounts totaled less than a buck.)
After that, funding the account took what seemed like maybe 2 minutes. Three tops. Lesson here: Scottrade don't mess around when it's time for me to give them my money. My $600 is in Scottrade's hands now.
All I have to do is a pick some stocks and I'll officially be IN. Maybe then I'll get my own clown.
P.S. Speaking of babies, my friend Delphine welcomed a baby boy named Rocco on Saturday. She and her husband Norm are already grooming him to be the Mets' first Belgian-Italian shortstop. Sphere: Related Content
