Investor Help (NO Ihub questions)

[cintrix]

What do you mean by limited amount of trading? If you are an investor and you are purchasing big board stocks for yourself only a few times a year you don't need to buy level II - level I with current bid/ask should be sufficient. But if you are actually trading (buying and selling equities and not holding them long term) you need level II. When you are buying and selling it is to your advantage to see the mm line up. You can usually judge by looking at level II if something is going to uptick or downtick.

I'm not sure why you don't want to give them your credit card. If it is a reputable company I really don't think you have anything to worry about. Just remember to read the fine print and give them whatever notice they ask for in regards to canceling it if you chose to. If you are nervous about using your credit card online, there is something called virtual credit cards. I know Citibank has it and I use it often. Don't know how many other credit card companies have this option, but it generates a different number for each merchant so no one can steal your card and use it elsewhere.
