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.

Bateri-bateri terbuang atau yang tidak mengikut spesifikasi dari loji pengilangan bateri.


b.     Pertanian 


Aktiviti pertanian melibatkan penggunaan baja dan racun untuk memastikan kesuburan tanaman. Namun penggunaannya mencemarkan alam sekitar jikalau tidak dikawal selia dengan betul. Baja dan racun boleh memasuki tubuh air melalui pengaliran air di permukaan tanah dan juga air bawah tanah. Kemasukan materi pencemaran tersebut akan menurunkan kualiti air dan seterusnya menjadikan pencemaran air. Kemasukan materi pencemaran dari daerah pertanian yaitu melalui sistem saliran yang tidak faktual dan boleh dikelaskan sebagai sumber yang tidak berpunca.

Aktiviti pertanian juga melibatkan ternakan ibarat lembu, ayam, khinzir dan lain-lain. Binatang ternakan tersebut menghasilkan najis yang seterusnya dialirkan ke tubuh air. Di Malaysia problem pencemaran air disebabkan oleh najis hewan ternakan merupakan salah satu problem besar kepada kerajaan terutama ladang ternakan khinzir yang sangat meluas di Malaysia. Air mandi khinzir mengandungi unsur Zink dan Ammoniakal Nitrogen yang tinggi. Bahan pencemaran dari najis, bukan setakat mencemarkan sumber air tetapi juga menimbulkan pencemaran amis yang menyakitkan.

c.      Perlombongan 


Aktiviti perlombongan sangat penting di Malaysia. Antaranya perlombongan bijih timah, bijih besi, emas, tembaga dan lain-lain lagi. Selain daripada meningkatkan pendapatan negara, aktiviti ini memberi kesan kepada alam sekitar, contohnya pinjaman materi terampai tersebut akan menimbulkan tubuh air menjadi keruh. Dalam jangka masa panjang akan berlaku proses pemendapan yang akan mencetekkan tubuh air dan kemudiannya akan menimbulkan berlakunya banjir di daerah persekitarannya. 

Selain daripada materi tersebut, aktiviti perlombongan juga menyumbang pelbagai jenis logam bergantung kepada jenis perlombongan yang dijalankan. Kehadiran logam tersebut akan memberi kesan kepada pengguna air dalam jangka masa panjang. Sumber pencemaran dari daerah ini boleh dikelaskan sebagai sumber berpunca dan tidak berpunca bergantung kepada fasilitas yang disediakan oleh tuan punya projek. Had maksimum kandungan pepejal terampai di dalam efluen ialah 50 mg/1 ibarat yang dinyatakan di dalam Peraturan-Peraturan Kualiti Alam Sekeliling (Kumbahan dan Efluen-Efluen Perindustrian), 1978.

d.     Pembangunan 


Aktiviti pembangunan memberi manfaat kepada penduduk. Namun begitu ia juga merupakan salah satu sumber pencemaran yang sering dikaitkan dengan aktiviti ini ialah materi organik dari sisa pepejal, bakteria dan virus dari sisa manusia, materi soda dan amonia dari aktiviti pembasuhan, materi terampai dan lain-lain lagi yang berkaitan dengan aktiviti harian manusia. Sumber pencemaran ini boleh dikelaskan kepada sumber berpunca dan tidak berpunca bergantung kepada daerah yang terlibat. 

Pencemaran air bawah tanah terjadi apabila hujan yang menimpa sampah menyerap ke dalam bumi. Di dalam proses perembesan ini, air tersebut akan membawa bersama atau menyerap kebanyakan materi kotor yang terdapat di dalam sampah. 1gelen (3.785 liter) minyak petrol boleh mencemarkan 1 juta gelen (3.785 juta liter) air bawah tanah. Kehadiran sedikit sahaja materi eyanide di dalam air boleh membunuh kita serta-merta.


e.      Pembalakan 


Aktiviti pembalakan tidak kurang pentingnya sampaumur ini sama ada dalam proses penerokaan tanah gres atau pengeluaran hasil balak. Aktiviti ini sering menjadikan permukaan tanah terdedah kepada hujan yang menimbulkan berlakunya hakisan. Proses ini akan memindahkan partikel tanah ke tempat lain termasuk tubuh air. 

Kemasukan tubuh partikel tersebut akan menimbulkan tubuh air menjadi keruh serta berlaku pemendapan. Selain daripada partikel tanah, aktiviti pembalakan juga menyumbang materi pencemaran dari segi materi organan dan nutrien ke tubuh air. Sumber pencemaran dari daerah ini boleh dikelaskan sebagai sumber tidak berpunca.
