Definitely not.
Try bitstamp or localbitcoins instead.

Any reason why? It's like saying "Don't use Mt.Gox because I said so". You are also more of a new guy...

If you mean daytrading, definitively Bitstamp

[cerleo]

Yes,Bitstamp is a good choice-it's stable,good for trading.It's also quite fast and you don't have to wait that much when you make a transaction.

Why is mt.Gox 760 right now and Bitstamp 709? why is there a huge difference?

You might never get the money out of MtGox, thats why.
Monthly withdrawal delays are reported

Because you can never get your fiat out from mtgox.
People have been waiting for months for their withdrawals to go through.

Though his answer is not satisfactory, he is right.

This is a thread about MtGox withdrawal delays, and you can find a lot of sad story there. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=179586.0
Example 1: This guy initialed a withdrawal June, and didn't received it at the end of Nov.

Example 2: This guy has been waiting since Sept.

I have been using coinbase and its been super smooth.  it took me only a few days to get a verified account as opposed to mt.gox took me over two weeks.  I have lightly funded my account on mt. gox so i have not tired to withdraw, but looking at their site it doesn't seems to be a smooth processes.   Look at coinbase.com

Yea, we see complains about Mt.Gox and BTC-e every single day out here. Never heard a single negative comment about Bitstamp.

Again, I thank the community for keeping me straight and to not screw up, I'm going to submit my verification information soon, seems like it takes 1-3 days to verify?

Some takes a few days. Some take a week. The longest I have seen here is 10 days.

I found btc-e to be the best. Money can take a while to be credited to your account if its a wire transfer but its the cheapest and you can trade the other alts
