wow why dont u guys just open a ameritrade account, 10 bucks a trade no matter what no hidden fees nothing just 10 bucks a trade. Not to mention their website is freakin awesome.
ING (sharebuilder) was the only one that could fathom my address not matching my credit card address. (I was deployed to OIF when I opened my account)
All the others kept rejecting my applications
I use Sharebuilder also and I mainly stick with it because I can get instant transfers from my ING account. I always use the $9.95 limit trade option when purchasing my shares. I know it's not the best, but it gets the job done for me.
if u travel alot u should just use 1 address that u can keep no matter where u are at, i use my aunts address, all my important mail goes there and that way i dont have that mismatch problem, and some1 to pay my bills when im out of town :O Hopefully you have a relative or friend willing to help you out.
Mogami,
Any idea where cos, relmor, killer and the rest are hiding today?
Well if you put it that way...Quote:

I eventually figured out it was cheaper to do larger trades then bothering with trades under 10k shares. The 9.95 on 1k shares is more then the .001 on 10k (compared to 99.50 for 10 trades of 1k each)(they still tack on the .001 on the 1k shares so you end up paying double)

Wait till we get a little further along this week. I believe the major bad stuff is mostly out, but you never know. We need time to regroup and most of all, we need good news from somewhere, some sector like housing, retail.....something.
Until then......low vol will take the market down a little/up a little and side ways.
Hang in there...
Something is getting ready to happen. Just can't say what..;)
Mogami..................... been moving from thread to thread looking for input from the guys. Not much happening. Will keep monitoring and cruising. Too many threads to hunt through. Inefficient and time consuming. Maybe just me. I prefer one long discussion thread . ...killer.
twa siri ................. sorry....... that was directed at you. LOL

Commission/Fees Interest Amount
($30.00) $0.00 ($4,629.00)
So, it was $7.00 plus $23.00. The $23.00 translates into $.0007 per share
EDIT: spelling
i'm still hangin....for something different, what's everyones feelings on the uptick rule, i for one think they should have never got rid of it, anyone else want to opin:)
It's just a matter of time before they figure out that Bush never really banned or prohibited stem cell research in any way, shape or form. As far as govt. funding, he only limited the available lines, and never interfered with private sector research.Quote:

just my opinion.....and why I did not jump when this news broke. It's just a short term trading op, and not worth anything else.
I have no clue as to how they would enforce it with stocks decimal trading in three places out. It was barely manageable when we had fractions, but it really didn't prohibit shorting then or now. It only served to slow a run on a stock and only for a short time.Quote:
