    During the COVID pandemic, the airline companies were taking a big hit on travel and I saw this as a great opportunity to invest in airline stock because its value in the market had dropped tremendously. I used this opportunity to invest in multiple airline stocks through e-trade by buying the stock at an all-time low for airline stock. It was a great investment for me in the long term.

    Square Invoices is the best service that I have found for what it does: it's easy to use, nice to look at, and never seems to go to spam or be lost by clients. Clients mention that the setup is easier than services my competitors use. You can even attach your contract to the invoice, which is wonderful in case there are questions later on. Unfortunately, not being able to have clients alter quantities or select add-ons means for half of my services, I have to use a different, inferior service.

    Pros
    E*TRADE
    • I like their sell orders that allow you to set a price or percentage as a stop loss.
    • Their dashboard is easy to use and gives you some quick info.
    • I also like E*TRADE's reports for gains and losses.
    • Moving funds into and out of your accounts is pretty simple with E*TRADE.

    • Adding a customer to invoice is super simple and takes minimal effort.
    • Payment collection is easy and seamless because Square Invoices allows the recipient to pay using credit/cards.
    • One of the fest features is allowing invoices to be recurring. If my contract stipulates a flat fee monthly, I can set the invoices to recur monthly for the duration of the contract.

    Cons
    E*TRADE
    • summary page needs to have more details like it doesn't show current market price for an option purchased
    • purchase or sell needs to be user friendly so it takes less time.

    • The reports section is not always the easiest to understand. It seems like I have to stop and think about options instead of it being 100% intuitive.
    • With the fees we pay per transaction, it would be nice to be able to add additional "limited" users for no extra cost.

    The only time I had a problem was a false chargeback from a client. Square Invoices referenced our contract and ruled in my favor, and they did so in a timely manner. I sent them the contract and my email history with the client, and they quickly unfroze the amount of money.

    robinhood is similar to e-trade but they are geared more to bitcoin and companies that may not be offered on E*TRADE because they are off-market companies.

    Square Invoices is easier to use and automatically transfers your money to your bank account vs Paypal that holds your money and you have to manually transfer and it takes 3-5 days (many times more). Square Invoices looks better overall, and for the same fees as Paypal, provides a better service overall.

    Return on Investment
    E*TRADE
    • Limit how much you want invest.
    • This is an open trade website and there is a risk of losing your money based on your investments.
    • If you make some sound investments and keep yourself within a budgeted spending limit there is the opportunity to make money on e-trade.

    • I love that I can sort my invoices in total, or by a specific time period to see how my sales are doing and comparing to prior time periods.
