Hi Tom, I get the idea I was just questioning the image:
where you say that you sold 15 shares on 12/20 for $12.3350. Was that an error or a fluke?
As to the amount to keep cost down, my portfolio isn't large enough to get down to 1% at this point. To help deal with this I'm going to open an account at Trade Station where the cost is $0.01/share and tops out at $6.99. I have to wait to do this so I can have $100k account there. This will happen in April or May when two bonds come due and I can put that amount into a very long term position and still have some spare cash for AIMing.
