Hi Jim,

If you're not aware of it, this morning was actually a Gap Up, where QBID opened higher (0.0027) than it closed on Friday (0.0022). Not surprising, considering the massive weekend & Monday pump on RB.

Most of the online brokers I am aware of allow trading in Pinksheet stocks - trades may take a lot longer though. Specifically, TD Waterhouse (..who absorbed RJT.com..), Ameritrade, and many others.

I would suggest that you ask about fees and limitations when opening an account; also Google search for "discount brokers". I'm going to have to add or switch brokers soon, as TDW limits trades to 100K shares - which isn't practical for a lot of subpenny stocks like QBID.
