Noob question.
Did you have to buy the lulu stocks in 100?

Normally you buy in lots of 100 however you can buy less if you wish. Some brokerages may charge an additional commission fee when you are buying odd lots.

In addition to commission fees RBC Direct Investing now has a flat rate $9.95 per trade. No minimum account balance required. This should force other brokerages to follow I'm guessing.

Gco

If any of you are following gco now would be a good time to buy IMO.

PP closed 2 million cash @20 cents per share. Another set of assays came out that were good and the stock is trading at 15 cents. It should be at least in the low 20s now if not much higher from the projected deposits.

I keep seeing "PP" on these stock forums...what's it stand for?

FITX is turning out to be quite profitable.

Thinking of buying some VPER and hoping for similar gains.

Say what you will about OTC, it can still turn some healthy profits sometimes.

ARIA. It's on the Nasdaq. Made 6 trades on it in 3 trading days. Some great plays. Decided to lock myself in and just see what happens now.

bought t.dng today for 1.61, hoping for a bounce by the end of the week.

My latest buy is PIE.v. Another penny tech play similar to LXV. It's a reverse/shell takeover. In at .19 and .325.

[woodywoodford]

I'm in BNP Resources (BNX.A)

Bidding just closed yesterday on their Jensen property - if they got a deal, should be worth a good .10c/share or show (.035 or .04 currently). Hopefully get news any day now!

I have a huge holding already but the price is right. Good dividend and company is very consistent
