I realize there are many ways to grow my $600. I've tried 401ks and Roth IRAs and ignored more ESOP opportunities than I care to admit. So to pick an investment tool and proceed with my economic stimulus, I turn to a BFF from a previous life, Mae West (pictured):
"When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never tried before."
To be honest, I always planned to buy stocks (and maybe bonds) with most of my windfall. Shortsighted maybe. But stocks are the sexier evil. And with all the hubbub about people losing $ on stocks these days, I'm hoping it's a buyer's market by now and whatever I pick grows my ca$h tout de suite. Even if I pick something stupid (er, poorly researched).
E*TRADE has 2 stock-trading options. And since my $600 is far less than the $50,000+ tier, the price per trade here is $12.99 + 75 cents.
More "shopping" for rates later this week. Shopping is fun! I think Mae would agree. I think she would approve of my research too ... that is what she meant by this gem, right?
