Which site is reliable and safe for sending money online?

Decided to get into trading after watching a family member make consistent gains over a few months. I wasn’t aiming for anything risky, just something steady to learn the ropes. Found a stock with good volume, stable past performance, and decent sentiment from what I could gather. Bought in feeling confident. But not even a week later, the price dropped fast—no scandal, no earnings report, nothing obvious. Felt like a punch. How do you handle these drops when you’re still new and trying to build trust in your strategy?

I found out with less than three weeks' notice that I had to relocate for work—from Charlotte to Philly. I was scrambling to line up everything: new place, movers, change of address, you name it. But the dumbest thing ended up eating the most time—trying to find enough boxes. I went to one hardware store and nearly choked at the price for a pack of five. I’m talking like $20 just for cardboard. I didn’t want to spend a fortune just to put my stuff into containers I was going to throw out or recycle anyway. I started asking friends, driving around to liquor stores, grocery stores… felt like a box scavenger hunt. Total chaos.
