Trading, Not Yet

My brokerage is taking its sweet time setting up my account. They have already received my money but are still requiring me to wait until next Wednesday to begin trading. I'm not sure if its new regulations or what, but it seems unreal that they've got my money and won't let me use it.

Until then, I'm still going to tell you what I would have bought this week: Cisco, Google, and Exxon Mobile. My usual 3 favorites. They have been hit hard this week, and there is no good reason other than market fear. Fundamentally, the three are financially sound.
