Some may be asking or screaming at me “are you serious?” Yes I am. There is a reason to take a look at the stock market and the relationship of the market and the Internet. So let’s do it.
The concept of E-trading is indeed nothing new at this point in time. But with the economy in the toilet and many linking the disaster to Wall Street people have turned a blind eye to the market. The fact is that when peoples stock take a plummet that equals an opportunity for others to make some money. E-trading has made finding these opportunities much easier.
Now while there is no guarantee in the trading of commodities that doesn’t make it untouchable either. In fact many of the tragic stories come from greedy investors and greedy brokers. The E-trading market helps avoid that.
In a nutshell here is the net impact of the E-trading market.
- It can reduce costs of transactions – cut out the bottom feeding brokers or the high priced “experts”. Now this does not mean that a trusted broker cannot or should not be solicited. It does mean that you don’t need them for everything you once needed them for.
- Liquidity – a broader market and electronic transfers allow faster and more efficient deals.
- Competitive edge – With access to a world market and the ability to by-pass the exchange floor it makes a more competitive trade market.
- Information – the Internet makes more information available. You need to be cautious also to filter through the true and false.
- Bottom line – You can see up to the minute details on potential stock. You can see a track record and projections.
All of this will help you make a sound and informed choice.
With the increased desire to use the Internet as a forum to trade there has been a “can’t beat them so join them mentality.” Yes many brokers and insiders are jumping into the business. Which is fine but also a reason to do your homework.
In fact there are more and more sites devoted to stock trading on -line than ever before. Of course you should do research about the ones you wish to consult to verify the accuracy and value. This is not as difficult as it sounds.
Naturally too, we should proceed with caution and soundness of mind. Don’t confuse the simplicity of the process with the reality of the stock market. It would not be wise to pour massive amounts of money in anything you have not thoroughly researched and tested for its trustworthiness. Don’t try and make the killing with every trade. People who are truly successful and make a living in the stock market are patient and methodical people.
But this is more than a discussion of stocks. This is about the impact and opportunities that the Internet has brought as a result of E-trading. Aside from making money from the market you could develop E-Trade related businesses.
Maybe you don’t have a clue about the market but you may be a strong developer of web sites. Yes maybe you are good with algorithms, charts, data tracking, and so on. E-trading sites are always going to be looking for better graphics and easier methods of reviewing trade information and stock performance. This may be your gig.
There also is a market for writing reports and doing research in the commodities and stock trading field. This is an excellent income possibility for freelance or hired writers as well as Internet research specialists. Of course the research in the stock market would also include off line reference material. But the Internet is an integral part of the research and communication needed to keep a step ahead of the competition or to be on top of the trends.
So while the stock market may not be everyones cup of tea there is strong incentive for many of us to see if there is an income earning project or job for us in and around the E-trade business. There are many lucrative gigs out there too. And hey, there are people who make money from the actual trading end of it.
The fact is that the economy has made it possible for more people to get in on buying favorable stocks that had fallen dramatically as a result of the economic crunch. Again there are many variables to consider when reviewing whether or not to purchase stocks. The reality is there are people making money through the wise use of the stock commodities trade.
In conclusion we are simple saying that the increased use of the Internet in stock trading has opened a door for work and potential income beyond the stock market themselves. Yes sir re-bobby the stock is up in the stock e-trading. And all of this is worth your time and examination.

Just wondering if any active traders are starting to trade the ETFs? After reading the book by Larry Connors – High Probability ETF Trading – I switched and I would say overall my results have improved but there are fewer trading opportunities because of the small number of ETFs he writes about. ETFs seem to be a little less erratic in their price movement so that’s good but some of them have poor results using the systems he describes in the book.
