Greetings investors, it's finally March, spring is getting ever closer. This month, we saw a few changes in the top five. This month, Speed Trader did not make the top list of most popular brokers while eOption entered the runnings. Here they all are:

1. Merrill Edge
2. Just2Trade
3. Think or Swim
4. eOption
5. Zecco

One thing that didn't change was Merrill Edge's dominance over the top 5. It's held the top spot for quite some time now.

Hope you all had a fun and safe Thanksgiving holiday (and black Friday). For the last month, the top five most popular brokers on this site didn't change much (Speed Trader and Zecco traded places and that's it). Here they are based on unique page views:

1. Merrill Edge
2. Think or Swim
3. Just2Trade
4. Speed Trader
5. Zecco

I won't say by how much, but Merrill Edge had a considerable lead over all of the other brokers. I think this is still due to the fact that they're still fairly unknown and it's hard to find more information about them. If you're interested in learning more about these brokers, click their links and take a look around.

The S&P 500 Falters

I blogged a couple of weeks ago about the possibility of the S&P reaching pre-meltdown levels, and it appears that the index just wasn't able to muster enough bullishness to get the job done. The S&P closed on Friday at 1189.40 during a half day of trading. If you look at the graph below, you can see where the market tanked in 2008, and where it has tried to make a recovery over the 1200 mark in April, and in November.



There is a silver lining to this situation though. If Ireland wasn't thinking of getting bailed out, and North Korea didn't start attacking South Korea, I wouldn't be surprised if we'd be up over 1200. On Monday, the S&P closed at 1197.84, but with the Ireland and Korea news, the S&P took a significant hit.

Investors will continue keeping an eye on Ireland and Korea in the coming week. Hopefully, these two situations will resolve without weighing down on the stock market any further. It would be such a huge boost to investors if the S&P made a sustained recovery over 1200.

Well readers, that's all from my end. Hope you all had a fun and safe Thanksgiving, and happy trading!
