callcenter.jpgI got this in an email from a friend.  If it’s true it wouldn’t surprise me.  Big companies have a reputation for following policies rather than using common sense.  I actually ran into something similiar just this week while talking to Citibank of all people.  Yes, the call center was in India.

Enjoy.  Have a great weekend! (more…)

My Thoughts on the Stock Market this week

Filed under: Investing — bryan_fleming @ 10:23 am

zecco.gifHey Gang. 

A quick note:  Keep an eye on the stock market.  It’s been too hot this year.  Especially last week.  I pulled my money out because I expect a market correction.  Meaning I expect the market to go down.  If we get a few days of heavy losses, I’ll happily re-buy the 2 shares of IVV I just sold last week @ $153.50.

So that’s my stock buying and selling strategy.  Pretty simple hey?

Day Trading with Bryan

Filed under: Investing — bryan_fleming @ 2:10 pm

wallstreet2.jpgWell I’m happy to report I made my first stock trade 2 days ago with Zecco.  If you recall the market was down last Tuesday.  It’s what they call a “sell off”.  I use my google home page to track a few stocks and the S&P 500 index.  I like the S&P 500 because I must see it 20 times a day as I’m opening my web-browser.  It’s also not risky like an Ebay type stock because I don’t think the entire stock market will go bankrupt.  It doesn’t seem to move around so much. I feel I have a good instinct of what it’s doing.

As I wrote about last time, I moved $500 from my ING Direct account to Zecco.  I thought “Why not buy some stocks when they’re on sale?”

I wanted to stay with the S&P 500 so I found what’s called an “index fund”.  It simply matches the S&P 500 index.  The ticker symbol is IVV (If you want to play along). (more…)
