yes!! govt bailouts will ensure that big companies don't crash...AIG right now is a very low risk investment given the cost, for example

scottrade is has cheap per transaction costs and also give you some free transactions.

ameritrade is good too though per transaction costs are high.


either way, as long as you stick with stocks ( as against options) and long term investment strategy, per transaction costs should not bother you too much.

there is no difference unless u are a day trader of the professional kind

fidelity charges me 10 bucks per trade. e trade charges me 12. Whats the big deal saving a couple of bucks (with ameritrade or whatever) when we are losing big bucks on citi stock (I bought it at $3.10).

and AIG? I bought it in the fall at $2.5 and look what happenend. The company may not fail but the govt owns all of it.

I was busy doing more important things ... .like talking about ganguly. Only got time then :) .... yes I know ... but could you predict in Sep of last year that it would go this far down? Infact it was down to 35cents at one point. I also did not sell when it had gone back up to $6 around october .... thats ok ... i am waiting for my stock holder bonus million dollar check to come :)
