as the 2nd post i am making for today, i just want to say that i think it would be fun to buy a bunch of really really cheap penny stocks and have their certificates. i was going to do it with my old Scottrade account since i still have it and i noticed now they have $7 trades with a $500 deposit required....gettin greedy. I didnt want to use my TOS account since these trades would have nothing to do with my normal trading and i dont want the account fluctuating based on the penny stocks. I almost had to use TOS just to find stocks cuz i hadnt used Scottrade's website in so long, its the dorky/not user friendly/crowded design that so many discount brokers have. thinking about putting $50 towards thousands and thousands of shares of various penny stocks :P and i want to keep the certificates, maybe use them as decoration one day or something.

it could be my lifelong experiment showing how a few dollars in a bunch of penny stocks, if held for a long time could result in some home runs that would make it interestingly profitable.
