ADVFN Plc (AFN)

[Bob Zumbrunnen]

It wouldn't be a good precedent if I moderated this board.

Besides, I'm really not trolling the boards very often. Too busy to pay attention isn't the most desirable of moderator traits.

I'm planning to eventually open an ETRD account to see if I can buy through them and avoid the obscene commissions I've been dealing with. All of my buying over the past year has been through AG Edwards, who happens to have a London office, making the trades relatively easy, but the commissions have been absolutely brutal!

The only plus side is that because of the trade sizes, they've occasionally been able to go places other than the usual channels to get fills for me. But not always. There was one trade where I wasn't just *on* the bid, I *was* the bid. For a little over 3 weeks!

This thing of no trades yesterday or today is really unusual. Surely it's not a bank holiday over there.

Funny thing, though, is that because the pound rose against the dollar, I've made decent gains on this position the past couple of days, with no trading happening in the stock.

If memory serves, I checked ETRD for a quote on this stock and couldn't get one, which led me to believe it can't be bought through them.
