How Does Choosing a Broker Relate to the Nickel? First off, we should make it clear that
we are not making any comment about Ameritrade. The "nickel" is important to many
investors (primarily traders), but it amounts to only a few dollars if you are buying
less than 100 shares. If you aren't an active trader, a nickel won't even show up on
the chart over the long term. So, worrying about "the nickel" when choosing a broker
matters only for particular types of investors. It's easy to see, then, that although
there may be many good brokerages out there, not all of them are geared to the
way you invest. Different investor personalities affect broker selection. The task
of making your selection may seem overwhelming at first, but with a little study
and some basic guidelines, you'll be able to make an informed decision suited to
your investing personality and end up with a broker that is right for you.
The Importance of Your Investing PersonalityYour investing style is one of the
biggest factors to consider when selecting an online broker. To determine your
style, you must define your needs. Here are some questions to help you do this:
Do you need personal advice, or can you do your own homework with research
reports?How long do you typically hold an investment?What is the size of trades
you typically make?How important is it to have direct access to a real person?
Is fast and efficient order execution absolutely necessary?There are four main
types of investor personalities. Try to determine what personality you resemble
most and ask yourself if your broker is providing the services that match your personality.Individual InvestorsThose classified under this category are also
known as
"retail investors". They don't require any special assistance or advisory services.
Individual investors empower themselves by doing their own research, selecting
their own stocks and knowing how to place online orders efficiently. The main
priorities for the independent investor are fast, consistent trade executions and
low commission levels. The fruit of such priorities and labor is the opportunity
to take advantage of the lowest commission rates around. Several brokers like
E*Trade and Ameritrade - known as "discount brokers" - have chosen to target
independent investors because this clientele makes up such a large and diverse
market.
Reliant InvestorsThese investors need some hand holding and assistance when
selecting a prospective investment. Typically, they require a broker capable of
offering individualized advice and assistance. This is especially true for new
investors, who may need all the help they can get when starting out. As you
can imagine, extra services equal higher commissions, and as more and more
investors become self-sufficient, brokers serving this market segment become
fewer and fewer. The ones that do stay around are generally larger companies,
such as Charles Schwab and Fidelity. Known as full-service brokers, they provide
many of the services necessary for successful investing: that is, not only picking
stock, but also tax planning, asset allocation and long-term planning. Additionally,
if you are a new investor with a fairly large amount of money, but you aren't
comfortable investing on your own, you may consider a wrap account. This type
of account charges one flat fee, usually quarterly, which covers all administrative,
commission and management expenses. The drawback is that wrap accounts
usually require minimum investments of between $50,000 and $100,000.
(For more on the wrap, see
Wrap It Up: The Vocabulary and Benefits of Managed Money.)
Short-Term Investors (Traders)Short-term traders are not the
same as day traders. Depending on the type of security, a short-term position
can range from an hour to a few months. For the most part, short-term trading
is a practice used primarily by the top financial players. These are the professionals
who have devoted time to understanding all aspects of trading and investment
and are often trading what are called "momentum stocks" or "
momo plays". Traders require access to superior research information,
excellent execution skills and most likely the ability to trade in other types of
securities, such as derivatives. With such experience and knowledge, short-term
traders require next to no assistance from a broker. Because these investors ar
e attempting to profit from the relatively short-term movements in a security's
price, they are more concerned about getting the best possible fill price than a
longer-term investor, but not as concerned as a day trader, as we explain below.
Discount online brokers supply the fast order execution, the low commissions and
the trading tools that are the biggest concerns of the short-term investor.

Because there are literally hundreds of things about a company to examine when analyzing its stock, it is tough to know where to start. Most investors are good at evaluating
earnings, growth rates, revenue, and the P/E ratio, but they also tend to overlook
other aspects that can be just as important. Here is our list of five items on
which the average investor does not place enough emphasis:Cash Flow -
This represents the constant flow of money in and out of a company.
All companies provide separate cash flow statements as part of their
financial statements, but cash flow can also be calculated as net income
plus depreciation and other non-cash items.Proper cash flow levels vary
from industry to industry, but a company not generating the same amount
of cash as competitors is bound to lose out. A company without available
cash to pay bills is in real trouble, even if the company is profitable. By using
the cash flow-to-debt ratio, which compares the amount of cash generated to
the amount of outstanding debt, you can judge the health of cash flow.
This comparison reflects the company's ability to service their loan and
interest payments. For more details on analyzing cash flow, see the article
"Learn to Look at the Cash Flow" Management - This is one aspect of a
company that can make a world of difference. Think of management in
terms of sports: Michael Jordan might not have been the "whole show"
during his reign at the Chicago Bulls, but he was undoubtedly a huge
contributing factor to their success. The same is true for the management
of a business: good management doesn't do everything, but it certainly is
an integral part of the company. Sam Walton (of Wal-mart) and Jack Welch
(of General Electric) are examples of people who led their firms through
thick and thin, recessions and booms. This doesn't mean you should buy a
stock purely based on management, but do consider the significant value in
proven, long-standing leadership. Accounts Receivable - AR represents
the sales for which the company has yet to collect the money. Sales drive
accounts receivable, so when sales are growing, accounts receivable
will grow at a similar rate. Problems arise from an AR that is increasing
faster than sales, which indicates that the company is not receiving payment
for its sales and thus leaving itself short for handling the expense of producing
those sales. In an extreme case, AR can tell us whether a company is
"stuffing the channels," which is the practice of a company sending excessive
amounts of extra goods to retailers and recording the shipment as a sale.
The purpose is to to try and make it appear as though sales are increasing,
but eventually the goods will be sent back because retailers cannot sell the
excess supply, ultimately creating a blowup. Inventory - Inventory is the
finished items available for sale and ties in closely with accounts receivable.
High inventory is bad for several reasons. Firstly, there is a cost associated
with storing the extra inventory: increases in inventory cause higher storage
costs. Secondly, a growing inventory can indicate that the company is producing
more than it can sell. Like AR, inventory should increase at a rate similar to
that of sales. "The Big Picture" - The technique of looking at the overall company
and its outlook is sometimes referred to "qualitative analysis,"
and it is a perspective that is often forgotten. Peter Lynch once stated that he
found his best investments by looking at the trends his children follow.
(Read more on Peter Lynch here.) Whether it's Pokemon or Big Macs, you can't
argue against real life. Brand name is also valuable. Coke, for instance, is the most
popular brand name in the world, so the financial value of its name is measured
in the billions of dollars and therefore cannot go overlooked.Assessing a company
from the fundamental/qualitative standpoint is one of the easiest and most
effective strategies for evaluating a potential investment, and it is as important
as looking at sales and earnings. ConclusionThese five overlooked areas are by
no means the only things investors need to evaluate, but looking at more than
just the obvious will give you that extra advantage over other investors.
Earnings are important, but earnings are also the most widely published financial
figure for any company, so why base an investment decision solely on what
other people already know? The moral here is always to dig deeper by
doing solid research so that you can aim to be a step ahead of the crowd.
Cheers,

Wouldn't you love to be a business owner without ever having to show up at work?
Imagine if you could sit back, watch your company grow, and collect the dividend
checks as the money rolls in! This situation might sound like a pipe dream, but
it's closer to reality than you might think.As you've probably guessed, we're
talking about owning stocks. This fabulous category of financial instruments is,
without a doubt, one of the greatest tools ever invented for building wealth.
Stocks are a part, if not the cornerstone, of nearly any investment portfolio.
When you start on your road to financial freedom, you need to have a solid
understanding of stocks and how they trade on the stock market.
Over the last few decades, the average person's interest in the stock market
has grown exponentially. What was once a toy of the rich has now turned into
the vehicle of choice for growing wealth. This demand coupled with advances
in trading technology has opened up the markets so that nowadays nearly anybody
can own stocks.Despite their popularity, however, most people don't fully understand
stocks. Much is learned from conversations around the water cooler with others
who also don't know what they're talking about. Chances are you've already heard
people say things like, "Bob's cousin made a killing in XYZ company, and now
he's got another hot tip..." or "Watch out with stocks--you can lose your shirt
in a matter of days!" So much of this misinformation is based on a get-rich-quick
mentality, which was especially prevalent during the amazing dotcom market in
the late 90s. People thought that stocks were the magic answer to instant wealth
with no risk. The ensuing dotcom crash proved that this is not the case. Stocks
can (and do) create massive amounts of wealth, but they aren't without risks.
The only solution to this is education. The key to protecting yourself in the
stock market is to understand where you are putting your money.It is for
this reason that we've created this tutorial: to provide the foundation you
need to make investment decisions yourself. We'll start by explaining what a
stock is and the different types of stock, and then we'll talk about how they are
traded, what causes prices to change, how you buy stocks, and much more.
