To Fishman and Alfonso, I wonder if I could ask some advice from you two, as you both seem to be quite knowledgable at this stock market game. Last week I made my first trade, I bought at .08 and sold at .10 the problem is that after the commission I only made $14.00 I didn't know that I had to pay commission of $43.00 when I buy and also when I sell, is there a cheaper way to buy and sell stocks other than through the bank. I am hoping to do a little better on my next trade this is were I need your advice as I have never bought a stock as expensive as Windspear before. Would it be wise for me to spend my whole $500.00 on windspear or just half? Do you two think that Windspear can go up more than .16 as this would be just the cost of my commissions if I bought 500 shares? Thanks for any help you can give me.
