Who do you trade with, and how much does it cost?

I'm scared of putting money into gold; any companies well known for silver or other precious metals?

I bought Silver Wheaton (SLW), and lost 18 bucks the first day. 
I got in it for the long haul anyway, so I'm not concerned, but it was a shocking first day of market play.

Hi there. Hope I can tag along too for a bit.
Got rid of the Silver at a small profit, and got AUY on the dip. :crossesfingers:

I feel foolish for swapping SLW for AUY with your recent update, but then again, you can't listen to everybody.
Here's hoping we both profit.

I was happy at the end of the day with AUY.
Got a question though: What is a good target to seek for AUY. I got in at 14.64, and I don't have enough shares to make selling half for profits worthwhile. Said another way, with the small amount of shares I have, it would be advantageous to sell in one press of the button rather than two.
What target should I seek? Opinions, suggestions?

True. I looked at shorting the S&P, but it didn't look as fun.
Shame Shame.
Anywho, I am in it for the long haul, so I am not worried about short term profits. It's money that I devoted specifically to this agenda. What is a good return % when dealing with investments...anything better than a CD?
Probably a stupid question in retrospect, but sound advice. Thanks.

Why don't you post a picture of your portfolio, or better yet, an earnings print-out from your broker. Put your money where your mouth is.

Why do you sell to get cash if this is investment funds?
If you are long, why don't you stay long until you book profits.
Not questioning your judgment as I am a noob, but I am quite curious.
The way I figured mine was this: I don't need the money right now, and even if the stock goes down, I can wait it out for a while to hopefully ensure a profit.
Please tell.

That's why I don't really believe in shorting American stocks. Yeah, you can make money, but what are we doing? We are "voting" against the American economy.
More people need to invest in these companies long-term.

If you offered advice without all attitude, people might respect you. As it stands right now, you act like the big guy on the hill, who pisses down in the valley.
Either offer your advice or don't, but you could probably leave your shitty attitude out of it, bro.

i've been using Google Finance for my practice portfolio - you can make multiple portfolios under the same user name. It's pretty nice.
Good luck.!
