UpNDown, Wish I had more, but AMD is tying up the money :). And Cray is an expensive buy for me at these levels (commission $ per share), not marginable, etc. The broker that I am using charges $7.99 for first 2,000 shares + $0.015 per share on portion over 1,000 shares, which is $15 per 1,000. I guess I would have to buy in 2,000 increments. So it appears that the commission on $1 stock is 0.4% each way, less on more expensive stocks. I think it is bearable. The spreads are likely going to be as much or more than that. Joe
