I have been following this website for awhile now and see that a lot of people are investing in sub .10 cent stocks, which broker's are you using. I just bought 10,000 shares of NIFW from TD Waterhouse and it cost me over $100 for the buy, and I am a "Premium Trader" so it only cost me $9.95 for up to 2500 shares. Looks to me that you really have to score big in a stock to offset commissions and taxes. Thanks for any help.

OUCH! I use Scottrade and I love it. I think Scottrade and Ameritrade are the 2 most commonly used online brokerage firms for penny stocks. They charge a flat commission of $12-16 a trade.

For that price are they at least giving you brokerage assistance?

I use LowTrades and only pay 5 dollars per order. There are none of those ECN fees everyone talks about, that's only during after hours trading.

sharebuilder is not for traders, it is for investors. Meaning long term investments. And not short term or intermediate gains.
