Investing in the New Year

Something about the end of the year and the beginning of a new one always gets me thinking about investing. Maybe it is thinking about the upcoming ordeal of doing my taxes.

I used to be intimidated by stock trading and depended on a traditional broker for everything. After the financial meltdown of the past couple of years I decided that I would rather take it into my own hands and use online trading for my investments. At least this way I feel like I have more control and know more about what is going on. Dealing with an online broker can be very easy and I have come to enjoy handling things this way.
