anybody on here ever do any online investing/trading?
Have you been watching some infomercials? :-)
infomercials? no, just trying to save money. I opened an ING account and they have CDs that make 5+% interest... just looking at what options are out there
Matt,
Call Luca, he made $800 in one day by doing that on-line trading... he may be able to assist you...
Welcome to the ING family! =)
I have been with them for a couple years and love it. I create accounts all the time, including term deposits I have 8 accounts. LOL
I was thinking you wanted to be like a day trader. (not there is TOO much wrong with that haha )
WOW, you guys get some awesome rates!! 5% is unheard of north of the 49th in a CDIC guaranteed account (CDIC same as your FDIC).

Some links... YMMV, I have worked with some brothers who thought they, knew what they were doing, it didn't turn out well for them. 50K down the tubes. OUCH!
how do you withdraw/transfer money from your ING account?
I just kept my original chequing account. Didn't need to change direct deposits and didn't need new cheques, it was easy for me.
so i should be able to just transfer funds back to my original checking account right?
Correctomundo!
The initial cheque that you sent them creates a link between the two accounts. Then all you do is transfer back and forth.
LOL I must look retarded with my Canadian spelling.
Get used to it I ain't changin. :-p
yes you do.
lol, sorry i meant "chequing" account
No worries, I got it, i am bilingual.
:D
i have recently started using Emigrant Direct. 5.00% savings account, (going up to 5.15% next month), and 5.35% CDs. VERY happy with them so far.
I also have some mutual funds that I put money into every month, but they pretty much increase like -5.00% haha
Diversify your bonds son!
i have a 401k, which is diversified, a bit. still high risk, since i'm young.
but my mutual funds pretty much stink.
hmm after seeing that emigrant account, i'm questioning opening the ING account. 5% interest is pretty sweet
Ah...You kidless young men...What's a savings account? LOL!
Not that it means anything.. but
What a cute bank... emigrant 14billion in assets, LOL
ING 1.44Trillion
i just registered an emigrant account. I'm going to keep both open I think...
Here is another one for you Matt, this one is 5.05% HSBC Direct
I have a 401K that i manage online through ameriprise. its pretty easy, i normally bounce things off my dad first (he is a financial advisor) so that helps me out.
one thing i have noticed with investing in general, from friends experience: you are never as smart as you think you are.
