Scottrade FTW… $7 flat trade rate and amazingly easy user interface. I have been using it since I was 16 and still do today and they just offer a great, direct platform made for simplicity and depth if thats what you need. They also have some instant trade guaranteed within a scond of delivery or something. ---

Penny stocks are great if you’re trying to get rich quick and don’t mind losing all your money. If you are trying to invest wisely to grow your money over time then yes they are a joke. They’re not investing so much as gambling. ---

The belief that a member on this board knows something about absolutely anything is totally ridiculous.

It’s such a wild idea that someone here may have some experience in a discipline other than OT or automotive, that if anyone even attempts to provide a somewhat logical or rational reply to any erroneous question I may just kill them out of disbelief- because it would inevitably be a sign of the forthcoming apocalypse. ---
