I predicted a train wreck the minute I found out about the new sheriff in town and took a powder for a month or two to stay out of it, much better that way.
Nothing personal, I just figured it would end the way it did and didn't want to get any on me.
Back to the topic of buying stocks:
Fidelity sux.
Sux bad.
Nothing but parasites looking for a percentage. I would NOT recommend using fidelity.
I am transitioning seven different accounts to a different house and of course, fidelity is trying to find ways to charge me extra fees on the way out the door.
