Stock trading is the ultimate way to make money. The commissions are free. The platform is open to US citizens, residents, and hopefully one day, the whole world. Your account is usually secure and accessible from anywhere with an internet connection. Many free and easy 3rd party tools exist for you to gather data about your trades. Filing taxes on your trades is easy for a nominal fee using tax software. There's just one issue. Not everyone is a winner. And it's usually the retail investor who loses, not the big bank.
