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.

Tokoh Emansipasi Perempuan Selain Kartini Yang Menginspirasi Dunia

Kesetaraan gender ialah isu yang sudah semenjak usang dibahas dan sering menjadi materi perdebatan. Banyak orang-orang yang menentang kesetaraan gender alasannya ialah beranggapan perempuan sudah semestinya berada dibawah pengaturan pria, namun tak sedikit juga yang mendukung gerakan kesetaraan gender atau biasanya lebih familiar disebut gerakan emansipasi perempuan dengan alasan hak asasi manusia.

Di Indonesia sendiri sosok yang dikenal sebagai tokoh emansipasi perempuan ialah RA. Kartini. Bahkan setiap tanggal 21 April, masyarakat Indonesia khususnya para perempuan mengenalnya sebagai Hari Kartini. Sebenarnya tak hanya RA. Kartini saja yang memperjuangkan tugas perempuan di Indonesia zaman dahulu, banyak tokoh dan pendekar perempuan lainnya ibarat Cut Nyak Dien, Cut Nyak Meutia, Dewi Sartika dan lainnya yang berperan besar juga memperjuangkan hak-hak wanita. Seperti halnya di Indonesia, negara-negara lain di dunia juga mempunyai tokoh emansipasi perempuan yang inspiratif diantaranya ialah sebagai berikut.


Mary Seacole



Seorang perempuan keturunan Skotlandia dan Afrika yang lahir sekitar tahun 1805 berjulukan Mary Seacole ialah pendiri “British Hotel”. Mungkin tak banyak yang mengetahui perihal perempuan ini, namun perjuangannya yang menggebu untuk mendapat akreditasi patut diapresiasi dan dihargai. Mary Seacole termasuk perempuan tangguh yang berani mempertaruhkan nyawanya untuk ikut ke medan perang sebagai perawat medis bagi pasukan yang mengalami luka-luka dan membangun rumah penampungan atau hotel untuk korban perang. Perjalanan sebelumnya pun tak mudah, isu ras yang ketika itu masih sangat krusial menjadi salah satu alasan ia ditolak bergabung dalam barisan perang. Selain ras, status gendernya sebagai perempuan juga dipandang sebelah mata sampai pada ketika Perang Crimean pecah ia yang melamar sebagai anggota “War Office” tetap ditolak. Semangatnya tak pernah surut, ia secara dapat berdiri diatas kaki sendiri memberanikan diri untuk mengumpulkan uang dan membangun hotelnya sendiri demi membantu tentara yang terluka. Dunia sempat lupa dengan keberadaan perempuan ini sesaat sehabis kematiannya, namun ketika ini Mary Seacole berhasil dikenang sebagai salah satu perempuan yang tangguh dan menabrak isu ras serta gender ketika itu.


Indira Gandhi



Terlahir menjadi seorang anak presiden pertama India yakni Jawaharlal Nehru membuatnya sangat erat dengan dunia politik semenjak kecil. Indira Gandhi ialah tokoh emansipasi perempuan yang dikenal sangat keras dan tegas dalam urusan politik. Wanita yang lahir pada tanggal 19 November 1917 ini terpilih menjadi Ketua Partai Kongres menggantikan ketua sebelumnya yakni Lal Bahadur Shastri di tahun 1966. Karirnya sebagai politisi tak bisa disepelekan, kiprahnya untuk kesejahteraan India juga tak hanya isapan jempol belaka. Gandhi yang dikenal sangat keras dalam memberlakukan aturan-aturan alhasil terpilih sebagai Perdana Menteri perempuan pertama di India. Saat itu ia menjabat mulai tanggal 19 Januari 1966 sampai 24 Maret 1977. Tiga tahun kemudian, ibu kandung dari Rajiv Gandhi ini kembali memerintah sebagai perdana menteri persisnya pada tanggal 14 Januari 1980. Belum habis masa jabatannya sebagai perdana menteri berakhir, Indira Gandhi tewas sehabis mengalami bencana penembakan pada 31 Oktober 1984. Aksi tersebut dilakukan oleh dua perjaka dari kelompok aliran Sikhisme yang diduga sebagai upaya perlawanan kepada Gandhi yang telah mengutus tentara menyerang Kuil Emas Punjab yang dijadikan markas kelompok Sikhisme yang berkeinginan membentuk negara Punjab sendiri. Dibalik kematiannya yang tragis, Indira Gandhi menggambarkan sosok perempuan yang berpendirian berpengaruh dan berani.


Sybil Ludington



Kalau anda pernah pergi ke New York dan mengunjungi sentra kota berjulukan Carmel niscaya tahu jikalau disana ada sebuah patung perempuan menunggang kuda. Yup, patung tersebut dibentuk untuk mengenang tokoh emansipasi perempuan di Amerika Serikat yakni Sybil Ludington. Tokoh perempuan ini tak lain ialah anak kandung dari Kolonel Henry Ludington –seorang komandan militer Amerika Serikat. Sybil Ludington dikenal alasannya ialah jiwa keberaniannya menggali informasi terkait dengan Perang Revolusi. Saat itu Amerika Serikat berperang melawan Inggris, Sybil mempunyai tugas yang sangat besar bagi anggota militant Amerika salah satunya ialah dengan informasi yang ia berikan kepada mereka bahwa pasukan Inggris hendak menyerbu Danbury, Connecticut. Salah satu bentuk keberanian dan jiwa patriotisme yang ditunjukkan oleh Sybil Ludington ialah ia tak berlagak ibarat perempuan lemah. Dengan sigap dan gesit ia selalu membawa kuda kesayangannya untuk mengorek info demi keberhasilan koloni. Atas jasa-jasanya ini, seorang perupa berjulukan Anna Hyatt Hunnington mengembangkan patungnya sebagai bentuk penghormatan.


Aung San Suu Kyi



Mungkin sebelumnya banyak yang tak tahu dengan sesosok perempuan dari Myanmar ini sebelum alhasil pada tahun 2010 media dunia memberitakan perihal pembebasan pejuang demokrasi Myanmar yakni Aung San Suu Kyi. Jika menyelidiki ke belakang, Suu Kyi ialah seorang tokoh besar di Myanmar yang memperjuangkan perihal hak-hak demokrasi masyarakat Myanmar tanpa harus memakai kekerasan ketika menentang rezim pemerintahan militer. Wanita kelahiran 19 Juni 1945 di Burma ini secara aktif dan lantang meneriakkan perihal demokrasi sampai memperoleh Penghargaa Nobel Perdamaian. Komitmennya kepada hal-hal berbau demokrasi sebagai salah satu bab dari hak asasi insan tak pernah luntur meskipun banyak mengalami tekanan dari banyak pihak. Puncaknya Aung San Suu Kyi ditangkap dan dijadikan sebagai tahanan rumah mulai dari pemilu tahun 1990. Ia divonis selama 21 tahun sebagai tahanan rumah namun ditahun kelimabelas ia dibebaskan oleh junta militer pada tanggal 13 November 2010. Disitulah dunia mulai ingat dan menyadari kembali bahwa ada tokoh perempuan yang sangat inspiratif memmperjuangkan hak-hak demokrasi khususnya untuk warga Myanmar.

Itulah beberapa daftar tokoh emansipasi perempuan yang inspiratif di dunia. Disitulah terlihat letak emansipasi sebenarnya. Tak perlu rebut duduk masalah ingin memimpin namun lebih kepada kerja keras untuk berkontribusi dan mengambarkan bahwa kemampuan perempuan juga tak boleh disepelekan. Sahabatanehdidunia.com mari saling menghargai baik antara laki-laki dengan perempuan dan sesama perempuan. Berdebat perihal emansipasi sudah bukan waktunya lagi. Alangkah lebih baik jikalau semua berafiliasi membangun harmoni di kedupan sehari-hari.
