My Broker and I are good friends and we spend most of the afternoon, with our phones off the hook so that we can talk to each other.

We were thinking of getting walkie talkies in fact.

However, when I first started trading a million years ago, I had a broker chuckle when I bought a penny stock.

I asked him what was so funny, and he just said something about penny crap.

So I said "Well if it is crap, and you are so well off that you only invest in blue Chips, I guess you won't be needing my Commission"

His tone changed, and he said "Oh I wasn't implying that I was better than you, I just don't like the risk"

So I said" How does it feel, now, that you have no choice but to sit in a cubicle taking phone orders from people like me who buy stocks, that you don't have the balls to buy..."

Then I said "pull up my account..."

He did...

I said "do you see how many MSFT shares I have"

He stammered...

I said "what is your name?"

He gave it to me

I said " I'll be sure to mention your name when I move my account to another brokerage"

------------------------

That's what I would say to any rat bastard order taking so call stock broker that is no more important in the scheme of life than a pizza takeout phone order person.

I know this has been asked and answered before but I can't seem to find it. Which brokers provide good rates on quantities greater than 5000 shares. I want to buy some TNRG but don't wish to pay $12 commission per $60 of stock.

I wish TNRG was not planning to have these stock dividends. Those shares will be essentially worthless because the cost to sell those shares will be much too high. It is an interesting strategy but I think much too premature.
