Online Stock Trading with Mac....?

[fab5freddy]

Can anyone recommend a good online stock broker that
works with Mac...? something like E-trade....? are they any good ?

 

[WildCowboy]

Can't think of any of the major ones that wouldn't work...they're just websites you need to access to execute trades.

I've used Ameritrade for a decade now and been very happy.

ok, what web browser is the best for Ameritrade ?
Safari, Firefox or IE ?

 

[WildCowboy]

Not much of a reason to use IE...it was last updated six years ago and Microsoft has ceased supporting it. And it's a giant security hole.

Firefox or Safari is just personal preference...Ameritrade's website is fine on either one.

I use Fidelity with Safari and have never had any issues.

I really doubt you will have problems with any of the major brokers.

Safe? Not necessarily...it's a stock, and a tech stock at that. And one that's seen a huge run-up over the last few years.

You don't have to go that far back in history to find the day that Apple's stock price dropped by 50% in one day. Could that happen again? Sure, but those of us who own Apple stock certainly hope and think it won't.

A site full of Apple enthusiasts isn't really the best place to look for investment advice.
