If you're thinking about trading bitcoin, I would suggest you don't use MtGox. It has problems with withdrawals of USD, and hence has an inflated bitcoin price compared to other exchanges [1]. Once your money is in there, the only fast way to get your money out is to withdraw bitcoin, hence the disparity.
