Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

Aku Aib Pada Suamiku.... Sedangkan Saya Terpaksa...

Menjadi Ibu dari dua anak ialah sesuatu yang seharusnya dijadikan pola yang benar bagi mereka (anak-anak), dimana dalam kesehariannya belum dewasa merupakan tabungan kelak dikemudian hari (masa depan) akan tetapi bagaimana bila kita mendidik dengan tidak semestinya, walaupun terkadang kesibukan mejadi hambatan dalam menunjukkan pola pada anak-anaku, hingga pekerjaan ini menciptakan saya aib pada suamiku.

Seorang perempuan yang berusia 28 tahun yang konsisten mencari nafkah menggantikan suaminya yang terkena kecelakaan ketika mengendarai sepeda motor kala pulang kerja, perempuan yang berparas cantik, bahenol dan seksi itu ternyata ialah seorang ibu rumah tangga dan mempunyai dua orang anak yang masih duduk di dingklik sekolah dasar. Dengan kondisi ekonomi yang terpuruk akhir kecelakaan kendaraan, mengakibatkan perempuan bagus itu rela mencari nafkah demi menghidupi keluarganya, walaupun profesinya sebaagai artis panggung hiburan kadang membuatnya risih alasannya ialah kerap kali diusili, dirayu bahkan diajak macam-macam oleh laki-laki hidung belang, namun apalha daya itu hanya pekerjaan yang hanya bisa dilakukan pada ketika ini, dan sekedar kerikil loncatan belaka sembari mencari pekerjaan yang lebih baik.

Pada suatu ketika ratih (penyanyi) mendapat usul dari sebuah event yang diselenggarakan oleh EO (event Organiser) disalah satu hotel, padahal ratih sendiri ingin mengakhiri pekerjaan itu karena banyak sindiran yang miring bahkan omongan dari banyak orang wacana profesinya itu. Sebelumnya ratih sudah off selama  sebulan namun kondisi ekonomi semakin klabakan, diapun nekad untuk memnuhi usul itu. Dengan berat hati suaminyapun mengizinkan.

Ketika program berkangsung hingga pada malam hari terlihat tamu semakin berdatangan hingga memenuhi acara, kebetulan program tersebut ialah program yang glamor jadi, pesta semakin meriah, pada ketika ratih bernyanyi ternyata ada seorang laki-laki yang memperhatikan, tiba-tiba beliau kemudian mendekat seusai lantunan lagu yang dibawakan sicantik ratih selesai, laki-laki itupn mendekat dan basa bau membuka dialog perkenalan ini itu hingga dapatlah nomor kontak ratih.

Pada kesokan harinya ratih di telpon ditanyai kabar dan lain sebagainya, dan hal ini terjadi berkali-kali, bahkan lelaki itu kerap kali menunjukkan pulsa walaupun tanpa diminta, meski ratih sudah berkata jujur kalo beliau sudah punya suami tapi lelaki itu terus memburunya, menyerupai pada laki-laki lain ratih juga bersikap demikian, namun kali ini ada sebuah perbedaan karena ratih kadang merasa terbantu dengan kondisi keluarganya, alasannya ialah pada ketika bertemu diacara itu ratih diberi saweran yang begitu besar, Suatu ketika ratih membutuhkan uang untuk bayaran sekolah anaknya juga obat untuk suaminya yang tercinta.

Ratih yang panik harus berbuat kemana, kesana kemari belum juga membuahkan hasil, tiba-tiba lelaki yang biasa menelpon tersebut mengirim pesan dan menyerupai biasa menyanyakan kabar, dijawab dengan datar saja oleh ratih, namun lama-kelamaan ratihpun curhat dan mencoba meminjam uang walaupun dengan berat dan rasa malu, lelaki itu pun dengan bahagia hati mentranfer uang yang dibutuhkan oleh ratih, bahkan banyak kelebihan dari uang itu lelaki itu menyampaikan "lumayan buat simpanan besok kalo diperlukan" duduk kasus anak dan suaminyapun selesai.

Waktu terus berputar dan tidak terasa sudah mendekati dua bulan lelaki yang menjadi misteri yang risihpun selalu mengusiknya karena hutang yang diterima oleh ratih, dengan semampunya ratih berusaha untuk membayar hutang tersebut, sampai-sampai ratih yang tak pernah menelpon terlebih dahulu ratihpun mencoba menelpon laki-laki itu dengan rasa deg-degan, padahal hanya ingin menyampaikan ratihbelum bisa membayar hutangnya, terjadi sebuah perbincangan ini itu, dan ratih diajak makan siang, awalnya ratih menolak usang kelamaan ratih mau dan balasannya ratihpun bersedia dengan tawarannya.

Dua jam bersama di sebuah restoran mahal, dialog yang selama itu berlangsung singkatnya si laki-laki itu ialah seorang duda yang ditinggal pergi oleh istrinya yang meninggal dunia, ada hal yang menciptakan ratih terkejut ialah Istri laki-laki itu ternyata menyerupai dengannya, itulah alasan lelaki itu selalu menghubungi ratih, singkat kisah hutang dianggap lunas. bahkan berkali-kali ratih diberi uang tanpa diminta oleh ratih, ratih yang bingung, canggung dan salah tingkah, balasannya menciptakan keputusan pada dirinya untuk laki-laki itu "Mas Sudahlah jangan pernah lagi kirim uang dan apa-apa lagi untuk keluarga saya, alasannya ialah saya kasian sama mas, dan beban bagi saya"


"Ga papa de ratih, lagian itu bukan seberapa dibandingkan dengan uang yang kumiliki, saya hanya ingin memandangmu alasannya ialah wajahnya (istri) ada pada dirimu bahkan sifatmu" jawab lelaki itu. dengan nada yang penuh sentuhan.
Ratihpun menyaut dan "Saya aib pada suamiku mas, anak-anakku, bahkan aib pada Alloh bila nanti diantara kita ada fitnah, bahkan terjadi sebuah hal yang tidak diinginkan, saya hanya perempuan yang lemah apalagi dengan pemeberian mas yang tak terhitung, dan itupun saya anggap hutang mas, maaf mas ya"

Lelaki itupun hanya membisu dan berusaha untuk tidak menghiraukan apa yang dikatakan ratih, karena saking cintanya dengan istrinya ratih yang menyerupai itu menjadi salah satu sosok yang menggantikannya walaupun hanya dalam pertemanan belaka. secara tidak sadar tangan ratih dipegang dan dikecuplah tangan itu. Ratihpun kaget dan melepas serta lari sambil menangis. Lelaki itu hanya membisu dan menyesal apa yang dilakukannya, 

Akhir ceritanya, tak ada lagi komunikasi antara ratih dan lelaki itu, bahkan hutang ratihpun belum terselesaikan, waktu yang terus bergulir tiba-tiba suaminya meninggal dan ratih dinikahi oleh laki-laki tersebut, hingga melahirkan dua orang anak. demikian cerpen Aku Malu pada suamiku.... sedangkan saya terpaksa...
