I know i'm a little special and new to this but I have had an account for years upon years and I don't think I have commission. I know awhile back I made about 2000 in about 3 months but that was a long time ago when everything was on its way up. Well even if I don't make anything its a matter of time till I can pad the account with more money. I am currently unemployed and I have 150 that I can feel comfortable with. So for this second I am running with that. When I get a job my start will go from 150 to 500 or 1k. I enjoy screwing around with the market. One of my current picks that is a holder is a company that is producing a movie with Pacino and DeNiro. I think when that movie hits markets it will make enough money to put this company on the map. Maybe i'm wrong but thats one of my holders. The 150 is going to include my trade fee. So I will probably only really be hitting around 100 total to start. I might go for broke and cheat to get it up higher than 100 though.
