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
