Tim, I am a new student to your style and I just got Pennystocking DVD last week. I liked the chart on VCSY based on what I learned and decided to trade it. Got 7500 shares @ $0.0985 and out at $0.118, so a 16.5% gain after commision on first trade, so thanks, and I look forward to the rest of Pennystocking and other DVDs.

What does it say in your TOS software when you click on “Stock Commision Choice” in setup? It says $9.95 for up to 5,000 shares for me.

So even if you buy 20,000 shares of an OTCBB stock you still only pay $9.95?

How often do you trade with them? I had forgotten, but they gave me 9.95 trades for all share amouts (presumably because I traded a lot). I’d ask their help desk if they will do that for you. but keep my name out of it, of course.

PCola,

The $9.95 flat fee is for 5,000 shares or less. If you buy 10,000 – 20,000 shares of a OTCBB or pink sheet, the commission is $20. If you buy 30,000 shares, it’s $30. If you buy 40K shares, it’s $40. For 50K shares or more, it’s $50.

I thought TOS had an option for $9.95 trades, not per share based, don’t they?

PCola,

I’ll definitely be selling today or tomorrow, before the 10Q comes out. I’d like to hold overnight as to not waste a day trade, but we’ll see. I didn’t take a very large position (only 5000 shares) because TOS commissions get expensive for 10,000 shares or more. So I’m only up a measly $75 right now. I wish I took a bigger position (like 20,000 shares), but if I was wrong, I would’ve been paying $40 commissions for the round trip trade, which would’ve added to any potential loss.
