thanks

From my experience, it'll be tough to find an online broker that allows penny stocks. However, after reading more about them, I decided that penny stocks were not a wise investment anyway, so I no longer considered it when choosing a discount broker...

Wish I coulda been more helpful...

Well, shoot man, the stock goes up $0.04 and you've got a 400% return, what's the problem?

Lol, you're right. In fact, I think I am gonna drop 10 grand into a stock worth 1/10 of a cent right now... that way, if it goes up a penny I can buy a house

Reminds me of my bachelor party in vegas.....

We were all severly hung over, and hanging out in the sports book waiting for our flight time. So, my buddy, knowing I'm a lifelong Rams NFL fan, says "why don't you put $100 on your team to win it all, man?" Since I had lost wht meager funds I had started with, and being right out of college, said "nah, they'll never win it."

Grrr........

Anyway - marcsantoli, there are other markets available out there which have trades without commissions. It's called foreign exchange. I just started trading a little while ago, and have had a pretty positive experience thus far.

If you want more info - let's take this offline and PM me.
