The problem was presented in a simplistic, theoretical mode to show the leverage that can be created; as with TNRG at todays price. There are some folks who can draw a lesson from a reasonable example.
At todays prices, one can buy roughly 5000 shares of TNRG, MDMI, PRWT, etc., for $100.
If it goes up a penny, your gain is $50.
If you are trading at a less powerful brokerage (i.e.: SureTrade) you are disadvantaged by a 5K share maximum quantity (without penalty charges) and you have to deal in fractions of 32nds. This simply means you need a .03125 gain to make money, and you pay $7.95 for each 5k block traded.
If you have to deal in 32nds; you wait until it goes up 0.04 and sell. You receive $200 - $15.90 (buy fee + sell fee) = 184.10. $184.10 - 100 principal = $84.10 pure profit. Most would sell 2500, and consider the remaining 2500 units still in your account as "free shares".
If you are trading at at brokerage which will let you operate in decimal trades and large or unlimited blocks - you can certainly trade on 0.01 differentials.
Watch AGTI for a day or two; as the FLEETWOOD GANG milk it for $1000+/- a day - on parts of a penny. They do this by making almost fee-less trades (JMO) at a brokerage where one of them is an owner/brother-in-law, etc. Thier sole purpose is milk the issue into nonexistance by volume micro-trading; which will ultimately destroy what was once a viable company. AGTI should be a case study in what TNRG "is not".
TNRG has broad scope, some cash flow, diversification, and a man with a "name" at the helm; who will return your calls. Beats the smoke out of WAST where Entevy has yet to learn how to operate a phone.
My reccommedation stands; blow off your next planned-vice weekend, take your effectively rescued allowance - and buy 10K - 20K shares of TNRG.
Much cheaper than a date with Monica, and you may come out ahead; with no special laundry bills!
