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.

Tantangan Geografi Di Era Depan Dan Penjelasannya

A. Dampak Teknologi Komunikasi dan Internet

Sekiar tahun 1990 beredar buku megatrend 2000. Dalam buku itu Naibit dan Arburdense (1990) mensinyalair ada sepuluh kecenderungan (trend) yang akan terjadi pada tahun 2000-an, yaitu:
  • 1. masyarakat gosip menjadi masyarakat industri
  • 2. teknologi pasca menjadi high tech
  • 3. ekonomi nasional menjadi ekonomi dunia
  • 4. jangka pendek menjadi jangka panjang
  • 5. sentralisasi menjadi desentralisasi
  • 6. bantuan institusional menjadi pertolongan diri
  • 7. demokrasi representatif menjadi demokrasi partisipatif
  • 8. hirarki menjadi jaringan
  • 9. utara menjadi selatan
  • 10. salah satu menjadi pilihan ganda

Bedasarkan ramalan itu tampak bahwa remaja ini terjadi perubahan dari masyarakat industri menuju masyarakat informasi. Informasi telah menjadi penggalan penting bagi individu, masyarakat dan negara. Informasi merupakan penggalan dari kehidupan mereka sehari-hari untuk pengambilan keputusan.


Keberadaan masyarakat gosip remaja ini tidak terlepas dari perkembangan teknologi komuniasi dan internet. Integrasi kedua teknologi itu telah melipatkan gandakan gosip dan menyebarkannya ke seluruh penjuru dunia dalam waktu yang cepat. Intergrasi teknologi komputer dengan teknologi komunikasi itu telah mewujudkan suatu jaringan besar antar warga negara tanpa harus diikat dengan batas-batas negara yang bersangkutan (bordeless).

Teknologi itu telah bisa menandakan sebagai wahana untuk mengolah (procesess) data menjadi gosip dengan cepat. Selain itu teknologi itu juga telah bisa dipakai sebagai infrastruktur untuk pengiriman data atau gosip secara cepat, murah dan praktis.

Disiplin geografi merupakan salah satu bidang ilmu yang memerlukan infrastruktur untuk mengolah data geografis menjadi informsi geografi secara cepat. Informsi geografi hasil prosesing itu diperlukan oleh banyak sekali bidang untuk pengembangan wilayah, konsrvasi sumburdaya, penataan ruang, dan sebagainya.

Dalam mempelajari obyeknya, disiplin geografi memakai pendekatan keruangan. Dalam pendekatan itu struktur, contoh dan proses keruangan harus sanggup dipelajari dengan baik dan cepat.
Untuk mempelajari aspek keruangan ibarat itu teknologi komputer telah menyediakan program-program analisis keruangan yang makin mudah dan gampang dioperasikan. Dengan fasilitas itu gosip geografi sanggup lebih cepat dihasilkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan pembangunan.

Dengan teknolgi internet gosip sanggup dengan gampang dan cepat dikirim keseluruh penjuru dunia. Hal itu tidak hanya bermakna untuk penyebaran informasi, tetapi juga untuk menunjukkan paradigma gres dalam pengelolaan lingkungan menuju keberlanjutan. Sebagaimana permasalahan lingkungan remaja ini yang paling serius yaitu mewujudkan keberlanjutannya.

Dengan kehadiran komputer sebagai komponen teknologi gosip proses analisis dan integrasi yang rumit jikalau dikerjakan secara manual akan menjadi mudah, cepat dan akurat (Sutanto, 2000). Oleh sebab itu dalam 2 (dua) dekade belakangan ini tugas teknologi gosip dalam aplikasi ilmu geografi berkembang dengan cepat dan mejadi kebutuhan yang penting bagi setiap warganegara untuk mengelola wilayah dan sumberdayanya. Pemanafaatan teknologi gosip dlam aplikasi ilmu geografi dikenana dengan Sistem Informasi geografi (SIG). SIG remaja ini telah berkembang dengan pesat sebab didukung dengan teknologi pengindraan jauh (inderaja) dan Global Posistion System (GPS).

B. Kemunduran Lingkungan Manusia

Menyimak perkembangan kehidupan masyarakat Indonesia remaja ini, setidaknya ada tiga permasalahan pokok yang perlu menjadi fokus perhatian.

Pertama, kerusakan lingkungan hidup yang telah merambah aspek moral dan etika. Kerusakan lingkungan itu sudah demikian parah dan hebat. Kerusakan tidak hanya sebatas aspek lingkungan fisik, ibarat kerusakan lahan, air, dan hutan, tetapi sudah memasuki ranah nurani yang dalam, yaitu kerusakan moral dan etika. “Berbuat kerusakan terhadap lingkungan tidak lagi merasa bersalah atau berdosa, tetapi selalu dicarikan alasan pembenaran terhadap kesalahan itu biar publik memahaminya. Menebang pohon di tengah kota/hutan, mencemari sungai/udara tidak lagi merasa bersalah, pada hal keberadaan pohon, air, dan udara itu sangat diperlukan untuk menjamin lingkungan biar tetap sehat bagi orang banyak.

Kedua, kemunduran kehidupan sosial yang telah menjadikan desintegrasi sosial dalam masyarakat. Ada kesan Indonesia yang dikenal dengan masyarakat beragam (plural society) dengan budayanya yang ramah, sopan, dan bersahabat telah bermetamorfosis masyarakat yang “cinta kekerasan dan anarkisme”.

Keragaman agama, etnik, status sosial dan ekonomi yang telah usang bersemi seiring dengan pertumbuhan bangsa ini telah berubah sama sekali. Keragaman itu telah menjadi potensi konflik sosial yang menjadikan desintegrasi sosial. Belakangan gres disadari bahwa ada yang salah dalam ‘idiologi' kehidupan bersama (living together) kita sebagai bangsa.

Selama ini selalu ditanamkan, bahwa masyarakat Indonesia yaitu masyarakat majemuk. Pada hal dalam pandangan itu, masing-masing etnik dan budaya kelompok masyarakat merasa paling andal sehingga tumbuh persaingan, bahkan mengarah pada etnosentris dan chauvanistis. Konflik sosial yang mengarah pada desintegrasi sosial akan selalu menjadi bahaya dalam masyarakat yang berideologi demikian.

Oleh sebab itu perlu segera dilakukan tranformasi dari masyarakat plural menuju masyarakat multikultural (Suparlan, 2001). Dalam masyarakat multikultural itu, perbedaan disadari dan diakui sepenuhnya, bahkan diagungkan sebagai karunia yang tak ternilai dari Tuhan. Karena itu, permasalahan tersebut harus menjadi penggalan dari prinsip dasar pengembangan kurikulum berbasis kompetensi.

Ketiga, globalisasi yang menuntut kemampuan daya saing tinggi. Globalisi merupakan fenomena yang tidak sanggup dielakkan. Globalisasi telah menghadirkan super power, super market, super-empower individual. Karena hal itu tidak sanggup dihindari. maka seni administrasi yang baik yaitu mengelola globalisasi itu dan memperkuat akar kebangsaan sehingga mempunyai daya saing tinggi diatas akar kebangsaannya (Stiglitz, 2001 dalam Sulastomo, 2002).

Mengelola globalisasi sanggup dilakukan dengan kerjasama regional, ibarat negara-negara di Eropa barat menyatukan dalam “the Europan Union”. Dengan kebersatuan itu kemampuannya bersaing sanggup meningkat. Dalam industri pesawat terbang, kerjasama Prancis, Jerman, Spanyol, Belanda telah menjadi pesaing Amerika. Demikian juga dalam merger industri sanggup meningkatkan efisiensi. Dalam konteks itu kerjasama regional ASEAN perlu diperkuat.
