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.

Perbedaan Kampret Dan Codot Serta Kelelawar Dalam Bahasa Dan Budaya

Saya tergelitik untuk menulis ihwal perbedaan kampret dan codot bukan alasannya pertarungan antara kampret vs cebong. Sama sekali tidak. Saya tertarik untuk menulis ini alasannya postingan di blog yang berjudul BERBAGI MAKAN DENGAN SAUDARA KAMPRET.

Saudara kampret yang dimaksud dalam goresan pena itu yakni codot. Mamalia pemakan buah. Sebenarnya apa bedanya kampret dan codot. Apa pula bedanya dengan kelelawar lainnya? Ada berapa jenis kelelawar.

Nah, dalam goresan pena ini akan dijelaskan ihwal kelalwar, kampret, codot, kalong, keluang. Tentu saja sudut pandangnya adalah  sudut pandang bahasa.

Salah satu scene Upin-Ipin ihwal Kelelawar alias Keluang


Penjelasan Kelelawar

Kelelawar yakni binatang jenis mamalia. Bahkan, kelelawar adalah satu-satunya mamalia yang sanggup terbang. Begitu klarifikasi dari wikipedia.org.

Sementara dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia Pusat Bahasa edisi kelima, Kelalawar dikelompokkan sebagai nomina yang mempunyai penjelasan: binatang menyusui pemakan serangga yang terbang untuk mencari makan pada malam hari〔Hipposideros spp

Dalam dalam bahasa Inggris, kelelawar yakni bat, menjadi lambang superhero Batman. Bedanya kelelawar bisa terbang dengan sayapnya, tapi Batman tidak bisa. Bisanya melompat dengan sumbangan alat canggih. Kesamaannya, sama-sama keluar pada malam hari.

Kelelawar mempunyai sayap yang tidak tersusun dari bulu, beda dengan burung yang sanggup terbang alasannya mempunyai sayap berupa bulu, sayap kelelawar berupa selaput.

Jenis-Jenis Kelelawar

Masih mengandalkan situs wikipedia.org, kelelawar terdiri dari aneka macam jenis. Jenis-jenis kelelawar antara lain:

  • Pteropodidae (codot atau kelelawar pemakan buah)
  • Emballonuridae (kelelawar eko-trubus)
  • Megadermatidae (vampir palsu)
  • Nycteridae (kelelawar muka-cekung)
  • Rhinolophidae (kelelawar-ladam)
  • Hipposideridae (barong)
  • Vespertilionidae (kelelawar biasa)
  • Molossidae (kelelawar bibir-keriput)

  • Daftar jenis kelelawar di atas, menurut pembagian secara biologi-ilmiah. Sementara dalam khasanah nusantara (Jawa khususnya) beberapa jenis kelelawar yaitu:

    1. Kampret
    2. Codot
    3. Kalong

    Kampret

    Kampret yakni kelelawar (lowo, dalam Bahasa Jawa) kecil pemakan serangga kecil. Kampret ini tidak pernah hinggap untuk makan, tapi selalu terbang. Biasanya berputar-putar di sekitar kumpulan seranga yang beterbangan.

    Selain nama hewan, istilah kampret juga dipakai sebagai umpatan.

    Codot

    Codot yakni kelelawar pemakan buah. Biasanya hinggap di sekitar buah yang sudah masak. Kehadiran codot menjadi mengambarkan bahwa buah di pohon tersebut sudah masak dan siap dipetik. Dalam percakapan, ada istilah nyodot. Yaitu ungkapan untuk menyebut orang yang makan buah tanpa turun dari pohonnya. 

    Sama halnya dengan kampret, istilah codot juga dipakai untuk mengumpat.

    Kalong 

    Kalong yakni kelelawar berukuran besar. Karena ukurannya yang besar, kehadirannya sanggup menarik perhatian, selain itu juga jarang ditemukan. Kalong yakni kelelawar pemakan buah. Hanya aktif di malam hari. 

    Penjelasan dalam Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia, kalong yakni kelawar besar yang aktif mencari makan pada malam hari dan tidur di siang hari dengan posisi menggantung. Dalam kamus, istilah yang sepadan dengan ini yakni keluang. Kata keluang lebih familiar dipakai oleh orang Malaysia. Terlihat dalam serial Upin-Ipin yang terdapat episode khusus ihwal Keluang yang sanggup jadi uang.

    Kata kalong juga dipakai pada istilah santri kalong. Yaitu istilah untuk santri yang mengaji hanya pada malam hari, tidak tinggal di pondok pesantren. Tetap tinggal di rumah, tapi kalau malam hari nyantri di pondok pesantren atau di sabung daerah kiai. 

    Selain ketiga jenis di atas, dalam masyarkata Jawa, juga dikenal istilah Keblek. Berdasarkan iman masyarakat, keblek adalah makhluk mistis yang sanggup terbang, diidentikkan serupa dengan kelelawar. Keblek dipercaya sebagai makhluk jadi-jadian yang sanggup mencuri beras. Kalau keblek masuk rumah, niscaya beras di dalam rumah akan berkurang. Begitu keprcayaannya.

    Jadi, kalau ada kelelawar yang masuk rumah, niscaya disangka keblek, apalagi kalau ukurannya besar (tidak normal). Maka harus segera diusir ke luar rumah. 

    Demikian klarifikasi ihwal Kampret, Codot, dan Jenis-Jenis Kelelawar lainnya. Baik dari segi pengetahuan alam, bahasa dan budaya.
