Whoa whoa whoa! I didn't ever say that index funds are the devil, did I? I just think you can do better. There are plenty of mutual funds that consistently outperform the market.

I think you misread my question. I'm looking for a trading app. Not a fund or stock investment system.

I trust the stock market about as much as I trust a politician but once in a while I have an interest in buying a company stock like when Japan air was .02/share and I didn't have a way to buy.

I already lost my ass once in the crash trusting index funds and the mantra of high risk when you're young. I lost over 90% of my 401k then they kicked me out because I didn't have enough in their system and I had to pay taxes on the measly left overs.

I have real estate that's doing well so far

Studies show that index funds regularly out perform those people.

Glad I tossed some extra money into my fund when I did. The money went in when prices were down, and now everything rebounded and I can see an immediate increase in overall value and dividends.

If you have an iPhone, check out the app "Robin Hood". I have been using it since the first week in Feb when I saw too many buying opportunities in Oil to pass up. I have had swings with the commodities markets but trade volatility fairly well and have made over 40% so far this year. Robinhood is far preferable to etrade, Scotttrade, Ameritrade, etc because it doesn't charge a fee for trades. They make their money on interest in the cash you keep in your account and on margin trades. Seriously, check out Robinhood.

Almost to $20!
