Interactive Brokers vs TD Waterhouse or Hoodless B?
May 31, 2009
I am thinking of dabbling in shares and very new to this. I have been looking at things since last year and have been quite hesitant to let someone else gamble with my money. I think I prefer doing it myself, but which company should I go with?
I have read a lot of negative reviews on HB.
I want something that wont cost me too much money overall and give me access to almost every company out there particularly FTSE other international ones if possible.
I have read about HB crashing during busy times?? Please advise who to go with and why., more

and Why is the yield on 10 year Treasury Notes seen as a guide to the long term interest rate? Am I right in thinking the FED can change the Federal Funds rate to whatever it chooses at the time, irrespective of what the yield it on Treasury Notes?
Therefore, I donâ??t understand how 10 year T-Notes can be used to judge long term interest rates, because surely long term interest rates will be dependent on what the Fed decides to have as the Fed Funds rate at the time?
Thanks., more

and Best way to learn about investment management and practice it? I’ve become very interested in finance/international finance and all related topics (Investment, private equity, mutual funds, hedge funds, stock market, portfolio, securities, trading ect), this has come to me since starting to work at a bank. I do more traditional banking now which is relatively easy, I currently work as a teller.
I want to go back to school and I’ve been eying a Global Business and Public Policy degree as well as a Finance Degree. Someone taught me that I can self teach myself all the skills I need for the topics listed above and has given me a list of books I should buy, implying that paying for college might be unnecessary. Can that be true? All those analysts, brokers, hedge fund managers, don’t they go to school first and then get some hands-on experience with firms and banks? Any help is appreciated., more

Safe/no risk forex platforms? All the forex trading I have seen online involves high risk, whereby your investment can go up or down. So you can potentially lose more than you put in.
Is there any online platforms where I can just simply buy one currency at one price and hold on to it until I want to trade it for another later? (similar to using a high st exchange office). I don’t get the high risk nonsense where it could go either way, I’d prefe to just buy a currency, hold on to it regardless of the market and then trade/sell it when the time is right.
Is my only option to do this on the high st or is there anywhere online that offers an online account that takes a commission?
