KaOsTiK 02-11-2008 10:45 AM

well, it's been tighter than i had hoped..but i had this scenario mapped out, and so far i;ve made a nice return on a couple moves today. right now i'm gonna leave what i have in there as a long term hold..but i've also put in a sell order good on the day for 1/4 of my s/h at $25 (just in case ;)).


nice little run by IQW. I caught it late but still made a few bux

sorry, i'm noob.

so you made $46,000 IN A DAY??!?!

also another question for you experienced traders. I'm newbie and I saw every trade cost around $29 a transaction (relative to the trading company you're with)...

So if I'm planning to play with penny stocks, let's say I buy a 10 shares @ .50 and sell them on couple hours later for $1.00...

I would have made $5 profit, but would have to pay $58 ($29X2) for the TWO transactions I made? So I would have taken a loss at $53...

Is my logic right?

Is it really worth it to be trading it at $29 / transaction then? Or does daily- trading usually outweighs the costs??

Thanks

Scoobysnax 02-11-2008 12:17 PM

did you guys take your profits from the IQW run? I was stuck in a meeting and wasn't able to get on the run until later :(

Synarchist 02-11-2008 12:21 PM

nope still holding

you need to change your broker and google is your friend on that.

Basically for transaction costs 29+, you can not afford to play with daily transactions unless you are going at the million level.

lots of brokerages are cheaper than $29 if you trade a lot. Eg. TD waterhouse is $10 if you do a min of 30 trades per 3 month cycle, $7 if you do a min of 150. Questtrade is even cheaper!

I can understand you buying a few shares of a blue chip like google or berkshire, but penny stocks? You shouldn't even do a trade if your total cost of the transaction is less than $100...

actually any penny stock trades less than $1000 is pretty meaningless:D

I think I might have to switch over... I'm using TD and $29 one-way is crazy compared to $10.

No one would only put in like $5 per trade. Trading stocks is not like buying lottery tickets. You need a more than a few dollars of capital at risk.

You really need to be putting in at least a couple of grand PER TRADE to make trading worthwhile. I think a good amount to start off with is 10K.

Anyways, you really should be careful with Penny Stocks and do your own research. Most penny stock markets are completely rigged anyways for the promoters. Not that you can't make money from trading penny stocks, but it is far different than your traditional investments in large caps or mutual funds.

chun, were you initially use the Web-Broker from the link above I posted?

Synarchist 02-11-2008 01:51 PM

what happens when a stock gets delisted due to not maintaining the minimum requirements?

bossxx 02-11-2008 04:53 PM

eddyc - like others mentioned, there is no point investing money unless you are starting out with at least 1500-2000 imo.. you will start slow but once you start making money you will start to see some decent results. And yes your logic was right in regards to the loss of x amount of dollars from the $5 investment or whatever haha

The more capital you begin with, the more money you can make/ lose. If you are investing in penny stocks I would highly recommend reading a book or two. You and your account will be swallowed up in no time if you are not wise.

On another note, APWR moved up 8.2% today :) now sitting at $17.80.

Patience looks like it may pay off for me this week :D
