[QUOTE="TheFinalEpic, post: 954559, member: 7073"] If you want to trade on a regular basis, there's not much better than Interactive Brokers for the data, capabilities, and low fees. Let's not confuse trading with investing however. Trading is essentially gambling with risk management and appropriate sizing. I would say dividend stocks and REITs are going to be one of the best bets for passivity. Like I previously stated though, don't buy on the anticipation of appreciation, buy simply for cashflow. As to the comment about oil not going down lower from here, I'm highly skeptical. The Mexican Government does an annual hedge, and their put options are significantly below market still. They have a record of making billions of dollars a year in that hedge. They probably know more than you or I do about the market. I trade oil futures intraday, I'd be shitting my pants holding a position for the longer term. [/QUOTE]
