List of Online Stock Brokers

January 31st, 2006

I have created a over at my Trading Winner blog.

I have gathered information on each online broker, such as commissions fees, margin rates, minimum initial deposits, special offers, and any other useful information I could find. I’ve also created a page for each broker where you can read other peoples comments and rate your broker from 1 to 5 stars. If you rate your broker, I would appreciate if you leave a comment for others, for example why you like or dislike your broker or any advantages or disadvantages you’ve experienced. People’s comments and ratings are a good way to weed out a great broker from a poor broker.

Silver Exchange Traded Fund (ETF): SLV

January 29th, 2006

Silver Exchange Traded Fund (ETF): SLV

Introducing the new silver exchange traded fund (ETF): SLV

You can get in on the hot commodities and precious metals actions without owning physical metals such as gold and silver coins. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) allow you to invest in commodities and precious metals, like Gold and Silver, and watch your ETF investment grow as the prices of gold, silver, and other commodities rise.

For those unfamiliar with Exchange Traded Funds, or ETFs, read my Exchange-Traded Funds - ETF on my Investing Winner blog. ETFs have many advantages and can benefit every stock trader and investor.

People have recently asked me about an exchange traded fund based on the price of Silver. One such silver ETF is the IShares Silver ETF, with ticker symbol SLV (ETF: SLV).

About the iShares silver trust etf:
Price: $138.12
Today’s Change:: +9.12 (+7.1%)

The SLV etf is sponsored by Barclay’s Global Investors and has been in the works for more than a year. Silver’s big brother gold also has an ETF in active trading, ticker symbol GLD.

Investors and traders alike have been waiting for the creation of the silver ETF. We can see their support and liking of the new SLV etf with the 7% jump in the price of the ETF, which was introduced on the stock markets on Friday, April 28, 2006.

Global investors are predicting both silver and gold will continue to rise even more than they have in the past year, due to concerns over Iran’s nuclear program, weakened dollar, gas and oil prices, and buying of precious metals by world banks.
