Hello everyone,

Today I wanted to buy a penny stock. Buying on-line the commission rate was going to be $300! Instead I called my order in and the commission rate was about $60.00 for the exact same transaction!! HUGE DIFFERENCE! I don't understand why this is the case. And, it was much better talking to someone.

Yesterday I put in a limit order for a different stock at $1 1/2 a share on-line thru Schwab. It went thru at that price. Then after market hours, I noticed that the price never even got up that high! I complained and they emailed saying that I actually paid $1 7/16 for it (they changed it on the computer).

I think I'll just call my orders in for awhile (until I get mad enough to change!).
