Zecco.com $4.50 a trade... had it for 3 months now. No complaints. Go to www.starreviews.com/Stock-Trading-Reviews. I have not made too many sports bets since starting stocks and I live a block away from Las Vegas Hilton. Got in on MGM, LVS, VIAP SPNG @ dirt-cheap prices. It's just as addictive. GL

One I got into awhile ago was LVS, Las Vegas Sands got at around $4.oo now around $10, still think its going to go way up may take alittle time, but i think $10 is still a steal. Just recently got CTIC, it is called Cell Therapeutics, Inc it is at $1.76 right now ,have a feeling this is going to skyrocket within a year, people i talked to say it could reach $40 no prob. But if it was that easy we would all be rich......LOL

pls do your own research before investing in the following:
LVS 4.44 500 shrs
MGM 5.20 400 shrs
HEB 1.72 400 shrs (big gains or big losses by next friday, I'm gonna take my chances)
VIAP .37 1000 shrs
SPNG 0.022 avg. 200,000 shrs (strong buy if you're a long investor and a great flipping stock for day traders)
anyone got some other stocks to research? thanx

I still like PLNR but $1.39 is a high, it'll probably still pull back some before it makes another move. A couple I got that are exploding are STEC and SOL

Alex, here are a few suggestions that have helped me.
- Do your homework (research)
- Start slow
- Buy low price stocks
- Have fun
I have made good money on EMIS and CTIC.
Good luck my friend.
SCOTTRADE is my preference. A+

Lucas, quick question about Scottrade, can you just buy 1 or 2 stocks and let it sit or do you have to make so many moves so often, i use a personal broker, but think it would be very convienent to have an account on the internet. Also how do they charge is it per trade, amount of the stock, any other info you could give would appreciate.

You can buy as few as stocks as you want with places like scottrade for I believe $7 or $7.95 flat rate. Regular brokers are way over priced.

Sorry Coach, just saw your question. Thanks BC and you are right. To each their own
but what I like about Scottrade is the first class support and information provided on
their website. My local branch office have been total professionals. Super people to
deal with. The other providers may be fine, I just feel secure and comfortable at Scot.
Good trading sir!
