Post by: DrahogErusiel on November 20, 2013, 02:53:11 PM
hi, i was recently trusted with a scottrade account ($500 balance) to try my hands at trading stocks. well i dont know anything about trading stocks. mainly im thinking about investing in apps but the apps i want are not public. any advice etc would be nice.

please dont tell me to pull the money and bring it to bitcoin. i wish! but thats not a option. thank you! i hope to get some advice.

I know you said you were 'entrusted' with that account but honestly, I would give the money back and tell whoever it was who gave it to you to go and put it in Bitcoins, 'real' markets are manipulated like crazy and rarely follow normal logic because of all the things people are doing behind the scenes.

this site is about bitcoin.. i think you might be barking up the wrong tree for information or tips about trading stock.

look in to the foreign exchange market. its basically trading currency vs investing in a company. i think there's more potential.
