I want to invest in penny stocks and mainstream stocks but some major online brokers dont offer penny stock trading. What do you use / think is the best?
Hey everyone, Gary here. Stock trading was never my forte'. I lost tens of thousands of dollars listening to stupid advice and letting other people trade for me.
scottrade.com is best for both beginners and professionals.
ZVTK & MCLN look very promising.
I used Scottrade to buy these, but in order to buy penny stocks you have to fund your account through a bank transfer or send them a check.
the best site i personalty use is Sharebuilder.com all thought they don’t have a wide selection of penny stocks but they do have one of the lowest comition rates so that why i use them so i can maximize the tottal profit i make of my penny share investments
My favorite brokers are;
ThinkOrSwim
Interactive Brokers
Tradestation
TradeKing
I use ThinkOrSwim mostly. Great platform with exceptional charting. Interactive Brokers is cheaper, platform is very hard to learn. Tradestation has a good reputation (not as god as TOS).
You can trade penny stocks on any of them. They won’t even ask you the most important questions….. like;
Do you have at least 5 years successful trading experience in larger cap stocks?
Do you have exceptional trading money management skills?
Are you exceptionally good with technical analysis?
If you haven’t heard of these brokers;
They are cositantly rated in the top 5 best on-line brokers.. year after year by Barron’s Magazine.
Never place a trade unless you’re using a limit order (with any stocks below $10).
If you don’t know what a limit order is…. you’re years away from being ready to trade penny stocks.
I use ameritrade has some bells and whistles. Before you start trading penny stocks you may want to read this article I found called should you buy penny stocks

Good luck its a tough market
RHB Investment Bank’s http://www.rhbinvest.com would be the best site to trade Malaysian stocks. Only site with stock screener for Bursa Malaysia to screen for Penny stocks.
