Who wants a new 8Gb Apple iPod Touch? Thats a brand new – worth $US229 – iPod Touch! And actually, it is really free! Let me explain…
Ameritrade are doing a promo to encourage people to set up accounts with them. Until the 31st March 2009, anyone (see below) who sets up an account, will receive a FREE 8Gb iPhone Touch!!
Is there a catch? Well, you have to be an American and have a social security number. And you have tobe willing to deposit $50,000!!!! but – yep, you can get yourself an iPod Touch for free. (Don’t worry, we have a better deal to show you below)
Now many iPhone owners are already share traders and 
have accounts already with other online traders. But none of them offer an iPhone App (eTrader has an App for Balckberry, but not iPhone) The whole reason behind this offer is to spread the word that Ameritrade now has a (free) iPhone App – which means that trading can now be done from our iPhone (or iPod Touch!).
But we figure we can make you an even sweeter deal for you. And actually make it worth your while to use this app. Just check out this site to see what we mean.
The guys at daytradingrobot have developed a stock trading robot that automatically spits out the best stocks to buy and sell on a daily basis! AND even tells us what to buy or sell!!
The guys that developed this robot – James Holt (one of the world’s most successful day traders), Dr. Robert Finn (a successful businessman and professor of artificial intelligence at Stanford Uni), and Jason Kelly (chief programmer for a small European hedge fund), have provided some pretty exciting demos.
I say – just take a look at these demos and see what these guys have done. Its impressive. And this Robot is definitely a great way for a beginner to get started.
