Best Online Stock Trading Brokers for 2018 If you’re looking for a way to build more wealth in 2018, getting started with one of the best online brokerage accounts is a solid first step. Doing so will allow you to invest outside your traditional retirement accounts and on your own terms. The best part is, the best online brokerage firms charge little or no fees and offer excellent resources that can help you learn more about investing along the way. Of course, not all brokerage firms are created equal, and that’s why we took the time to break down each of their details and rank the top options on an array of factors. If you’re looking for a new way to invest this year and are ready to strike out on your own, the following online brokerage accounts should be at the top of your list.What Matters When You Trade Stocks on Your Own? Managing your own money can be a stressful endeavor. To minimize this, and to minimize information overload that tends to come from watching the markets 24/7, there are a few must-haves to look for in an online broker. Clean interface. When I trade, I want to be able to easily find my order entry ticket. I don’t want it buried under a number of drop downs. This interface should have intuitive access to see your balance, available cash, positions with real time P/L and all be easily navigated. Quick access to basic charting. A chart tells me where the stock has been recently. I don’t trade minute to minute anymore, so I don’t need complex tools like stochastics or retracement lines. All that’s important is that I have a basic chart on a yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and intra day time period. I use a chart to see current price relative to those time periods, mainly to avoid purchasing at a bad price. Low fees. One of the biggest roadblocks to building wealth is fees incurred to invest your hard-earned dollars. Because the fees charged by different brokerage firms vary so dramatically, it’s crucial to seek out options that charge low fees (or no fees) for account management and trades. There are over 50 online brokerages where you can open an account. Beyond the my three rules above, best online brokerage accounts aren’t just for trading stocks. Sure, many of them started as online stock trading accounts, but now they’re full-fledged trading, saving, investing, retirement planning, and banking machines. This industry is more complex than the average person thinks. You shouldn’t just pick any online broker and sign up for an account. The best online broker for one person is often completely different for the next person. Use this resource as a guide to your decision process. Figure out what features are best for you, and make your selection. What Makes a Great Online Broker? I analyzed a number of elements to come to my decision on which brokers are the best. Later in this post, I provide full details on how I selected the best online brokerages. When you take all the features, resources, trading platforms, and technology into account (while also considering every type of trader), the full-service brokers, like E*TRADE and TD Ameritrade are the best for the largest number of people. For those simply looking to make cheap trades, I would recommend going with Optionshouse. If you’re a very advanced trader, high-volume trader, or a professional who manages money, I recommend going with Interactive Brokers. However, I didn’t include Interactive Brokers on my list because they’re best for a very small group of traders and the platform is very complex. Top Qualities of Standout Online Trading Platforms Quality trading tools and technology Multiple trading platforms for all levels of traders Excellent mobile trading features Solid navigation that displays the relevant information where you want it Quality educational resources and research for trader development There’s more to selecting an online broker than price. You have to consider the resources you’re getting for the cost you pay per trade. For example, my colleague, who is also an ex-trader, likes to use a combination of stock and options trade in his longer-term trading. He recently switched over to Fidelity because he really liked the cash management features, but was very disappointed by complex order entry, sub-par options execution and frustrating navigation. He’s currently making the switch to one of the brokers I profile here.

Arti Istilah Kalang Kabut Dan Asal-Usulnya Dari Bahasa Arab

pustamun.blogspot.com - "Istilah 'Kalang Kabut' alasannya ikhfa' aslinya: kalan kabut" Mendengar pernyataan tersebut saat berada di sebuah kantor Madrasah Diniyah, di sebuah pesantren 'kecil' di erat rumah. Pernyataan itu dikeluarkan oleh salah seorang guru saya, yang juga masih saudara. Kaprikornus memberanikan diri. Akhirnya, didapatlah klarifikasi bahwa istilah 'kalang kabut' berasal dari bahasa Arab. 

Laba-laba dalam Bahasa Arab artinya al-ankabut

Sebelum dijelaskan mengenai asal-usul istilah 'kalang kabut' yang berasal dari Bahasa Arab, ada baiknya kita tengok klarifikasi arti istilah tersebut dalam Bahasa Indonesia.

Dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia Pusat Bahasa Edisi Keempat yang terbit pada 2008, lema kalang kabut terdapat pada halaman 607. Penulisannya penuh ka.lang ka.but jadi memang terdiri dari dua kata kalang dan kabut. Tapi, untuk memahami istilah itu, tidak sanggup dicari dari kata kalang saja atau kabut saja. 

Arti dalam KBBI tersebut, kalang kabut (2008:607) resah tidak keruan. Kata kalang kabut termasuk dalam kelas kata adverbia. Contoh kalimat dalam KBBI: ibu kalang kabut menymbut kedatangan tamu yang tidak disangka-sangka itu. 

Berdasarkan penulisan dalam KBBI yang menawarkan bahwa kalang kabut adalah kata dasar bukan adonan kata atau frase, menerangkan bahwa kalang kabut merupakan satu istilah tersendiri. 

Sementara itu, kalang kabut dalam Tesaurus Alfabetis Bahasa Indonesia Pusat Bahasa yang terbit pada 2009, terdapat pada halaman 269. 

Istilah kalang kabut dalam Tesaurus tersebut mempunyai dua kelompok sinonim. Sinonim kalang kabut kelompok yang pertama yaitu 1 bingung, buncah, ggap, gamam, ganar, gelagapan, gelisah, gugup, kelabakan, kelimpungan, kepompongan, mencacau, panik, salah tingkah, senewen (cak), sesat pusat, tengah. Sinonim kalang kabut kelompok yang kedua yaitu 2 belingsatan, raba-rubu, tergesa-gesa, tergopoh-gopoh, terkencar-kencar, tersara bara.

Berdasarkan pengertian kata kalang kabut dan sinonimnya di atas, sanggup kita ketahui bahwa istilah tersebut mengandung muatan bingung yang menyebabkan salah tingkah, dan harus mondar-mandir untuk melaksanakan sesuatu bahkan hingga berputar-putar.

Pengertian di atas erat hubungannya dengan bahasa asalnya, yaitu Bahasa Arab. Seperti telah disebutkan di awal goresan pena ini, kalang kabut berasal dari kata kal.anka.but yang akar katanya yaitu ka al-ankabut. Dalam kaidah fonologi Bahasa Arab (Ilmu Tajwid), nun mati yang bertemu dengan abjad kaf harus dibaca ikhfa (samar), maka lafaz anka dibunyikan angka, jadilah ka-al-angkabut yang lambat laun diucapkan oleh penutur Bahasa Melayu (sebagai induk Bahasa Indonesia) menjadi kalangkabut dan bentuk bakunya yaitu kalang kabut. 

Nah, lafaz ka al-ankabut dalam Bahasa Arab terdiri dari dua kata yaitu ka yang artinya seperti atau mirip dengan dan al-ankabut yang artinya laba-laba. Jadi, artinya ka al-ankabut adalah seperti laba-laba.

Arti kalang kabut dalam Bahasa Indonesia ibarat yang telah disebutkan di atas, ibarat dengan tindakan laba-laba yang berputar-putar saat menciptakan sarang. Mungkin, melihat orang yang sedang berputar-putar alasannya bingung, lalu ada orang melayu yang menyebut ka alankabut. Maksudnya jangan berputar-putar. Tapi lambat laun maknanya bergeser ibarat yang telah kita ketahui bersama dan telah dibakukan dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia.

Tapi, jangan sekali-sekali menyamakan kalang kabut dengan Surat ke-29 dalam Kitab Suci Alquran, alasannya artinya yaitu laba-laba. Jangan ditafsiri secara sembarangan. Hehehe.

Semoga kita pernah mencicipi kalang kabut.
