When was the last time you shopped at Best Buy?? If most people are like me it has been ages since you've physically been into their store. I used to appreciate the days when they were perceived as the low cost alternative against Circuit City and other high cost electronic box stores. When Circuit City departed, I thought it was smooth sailing for these guys. They were the place to turn for all my electronics and gadgets, until I started shopping online. I still was somewhat loyal to Best Buy but this dried up because they had nothing for shoppers that valued nice products and moderate prices. The 'Magnolia' line of products is great but EASILY way too pricey and the other lines of Best Buy branded products aren't appealing for a semi-techie guy like me that actually reads CNET reviews. So unfortunately I exclusively started shopping online with Amazon, Newegg, and directly from electronic manufacturers (Lenovo, Dell, etc) that offered the best pricing for my products. I even became a dreaded comparison shopper recently when I bought my entertainment system for my HD, surround sound, bass booming media room. I went to Best Buy and was quoted thousands for a TV alone and then thousands for my surround sound system, and wiring. I decided to by my TV online and applied the extra saving to more inches (I'm over 60 inches). Then my receiver for my entertainment system was bought through an Amazon Gold Box deal. My surround sound speakers came from Newegg (they even threw in free wiring) and boast enough beats to watch sports or pound out a building thumping boom from the 4th floor.
But, there may be redemption!! Best Buy just announced that they will price match competitors INCLUDING their online prices. This price effect starts NOW and is good through Nov. 17. They will revisit this matching program for the BLACK FRIDAY seasonal dates: Nov. 27 - Dec. 24. I follow the company as a possible investment but Main Street should take advantage of this unique opportunity to go back to the old school way of touching and buying your product in a store. You can walk away feeling pretty good because you came in with the BEST PRICE and they will match it without much hassle. I like physically inspecting my items and this is music to my ears.

The right broker first of all indicates a right decision, we can find a right broker if we can choose a broker which is more appropriate to the concept of trading that will be used, we the traders who are particularly scalpers have to choose the brokers which allows trading concept such as this. As a newcomer I always have to depend on lowest trading spreads for scalping in a proper way, that’s why I have chosen LQDFX due to their 0 pips trading spreads. That’s why now my trading life is very much comfortable.
