Thanks for the info Denco. I have been thinking about getting a second account anyways. Do they charge you more for trading at those times?

Scottrade does not charge extra or very little differnce, within a $1 or so. Etrade does charge more than their set rate per trade. You pay .005 per share on SIRI trades AH or PM. So, if you sell 10k shares in AH or PM you pay 1/2 a cent per share or in this case $50. At first that was a big negative to me but on a nice gap of 5-10 cents its not a big deal.

I have etrade and scottrade as well. i prefer etrade. I find etrade easier to pick what lots of shares i want to sell. it is not as easy in scottrade. in fact i still haven't figured it out.
I've been quite pleased with TD Ameritrade for about 10 years now. I think their trade commission ($10.99) might be a little higher than some of the other online brokers, but there is absolutely no premium charge for AH or PM, and no limit on block size for that same fee. I use a lot of GTC plus extended hours trades and have traded right up to 8pm eastern. I frankly can't recall a trade executing prior to market opening, so cannot attest to just how early one can trade there. I will say also that they have excellent customer service, and their offerings of tracking and trading tools is second to none. Here is just one example, and apparently it is one of the few services offering free Level II:
so what re-entry points are people looking to get back in after selling?
