can someone please comment
I have a Wellstrade account. Usually I get my trades for $9.95, but penny stocks make me pay a much higher commission. Does this happen to anyone else with their discount brokers? It's really pissing me off. I'm thinking about getting into DTNK, but it costs me near 30 bucks!
Thanks, MR. GF |

Thanks for the help. I may in fact switch now. Any downsides to First Trade?

One more thing as well. Has anyone transferred brokerage accounts. First Trade says it takes about 2 weeks. If I were to change from my WellsTrade account, does anyone know if I would still be able to trade during those two weeks? Has anyone done this before?

First Trade sounds just plain stupid.
I have Scottrade, I'm pretty pleased with them. E*trade sounds like a good deal for this, and my buddy has TD Ameritrade. I think he has $9.95 flat fee. __________________ Lee surrendered; I did not. |
