OK lets look at the whole picture
i had 30 MIl shares average around .00035
i then bought 8 Mil shares giving me 41 MIl at at .0001 ..averaging down
i should have kept the shares but i thought i could do this several times thus averaging down more each time
only problem is after i sold 7 MIl
i put an order in for 9 Mil but they won't fill it
hope that helps get the mud off the windshield
as far as net effect with commission i don't even look at the cost of a trade, Questrade charges me 4.95 a trade but they don't allow for multi mil
trades. Scotia iTrade in Canada charges me 25 bucks in and 25 bucks out
i do almost all my trading through Scotia, i can load my iTrade directly from my personal account and trade right away..no waiting
and they let multi Mil orders go through and they allow most pennies to be traded, were as Quest restricts alot of pennies to be traded through office
one stock i phoned in on they wanted 350 bucks for the trade in a penny stock....crazy stuff
