SOL, NYX

Sold 100 shares that I had picked up at 5 for the price of 5.51. Then picked up another 100 shares at 6.16. The commission is killing me but at least I made two moves in last two days to get a bit of cash back. And how about that nyx going north after I sold some of my the other day at 25.31! Oh well.

How much do you pay for commission?

I pay 8$ for each transaction. 8$ to buy and 8$ to sell. So total of 16$ if I buy and sell something.

If you get spiffy software from your broker this may not be your choice, but over at sogotrade.com you can get $1.50 trades (if you pay $10 subscription fee a month, or $3/trade without). The system they have is adequate for me and has saved me a ton in commission. I have stayed away from anything over $5/trade, though, so I have never used some of the better software. You can always set up an account and look around without putting money in it.

Just a suggestion.
