Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

Are things like 401Ks, IRAs, etc. safe in moments like this?

Let a breh know if it's wise to hit the bank tomorrow brehs.

No and yes.

No, because they're composed of securities just like everything else.
Yes because they're such long-term investments that this particular dip / crash won't hurt you in the long run unless you're retiring in the next 5 years.

Look at minimum deposits, per trade transaction fee, options fees. See if they have admin fees (most mainstream like TD, Etrade, etc don't have admin fees). After that, just find the platform that works for you. Each company presents charts and data in a slightly different way and each has proprietary software that you may favor over another service. Realistically they are all pretty much the same for a basic investor so it comes down to the cheapest transaction fees.

nothing would surprise me, do we have any more long weekends this month?



I just can't comprehend the rational of the Greek government, instead of working on a solution they keep dragging it out.


They're sabotaging themselves at this point.

This line had me cracking up for some reason...

China’s state media pounced on Morgan Stanley for urging investors to steer clear of Chinese stocks in a June 26 note. Rumors are flying that short-selling “foreign crocodiles” and “foreign devils” are to blame.
