do you know anything about trading stocks?
I know very little about trading stocks, but I’ve recently started trying to learn a bit about it because my husband is into it. 
I just started a month ago. So I haven't learned too much yet. I feel like i've already learned the hard way of a few things not to do. 
What have you learned the hard way so far? 
Just ended up picking a stock that I thought was going to be down short term and now it's filed bankruptcy protection and has been delisted from the NYSE. I've lost just about all the money on it. So I'm going to hold long term and hope it turns around at some point. 
What a bummer! Such as it goes with stock trading, I suppose. What broker do you use?
I use TD Ameritrade. my dad recommended it as being one of the better ones to use for beginners. 
My husband also uses TD Ameritrade and has been really happy with them. Do you also have a retirement account through them?
I don't. I've been hearing about it but haven't looked into opening it yet. 
My husband opened a Roth IRA with them and it’s definitely worth looking into -
