04:15PM / Thursday, October 10, 2019 | |
 Last week, Charles Schwab, the mega-discount broker, disrupted the brokerage industry yet again by dropping its per-trade commission rates for U.S. and Canadian stocks, exchange traded funds (ETFs), and options for both mobile and internet trades.

The stock market reacted in shock. Traders hit the sell button on their computers 0 Comments

It's Not Too Soon for End-of-Year Financial MovesSubmitted by Edward Jones,
11:22AM / Tuesday, October 08, 2019 | |
 We've still got a couple of months until 2019 draws to a close, but it's not too early to make some end-of-the-year financial moves. In fact, it may be a good idea to take some of these steps sooner rather than later.
Here are a few suggestions:
* Boost your 401(k) contributions. Like many people, you might not usually contribute the maximum amount to your 401(k), which, in 2019 is $19,000, or $25,000 if you're 50 or older.
