Re: That's not a bad return for an equity warehouse!

Hi Steve,

Agreed. The more people invest like it is a business the better their decisions tend to be. AIM is a business plan outline.

"Control the controllables!" is the main message with commission expenses. Since it is a fixed cost, at least we know in advance what it will be and what portion of our business activity is will represent over time. For the person who buys 2000 shares of a $50 stock and complains about the $10 commission there really isn't anything to say! For the AIM user, who might be trying to shrink the "hold zone" by trading just $100 worth of stock as a minimum, there needs to be some greater understanding.

Your example helps fill in some gaps in that understanding. Thank you!
