Now, how you assert the trend is where knowledge must be applied.

My commissions at TDAmeritrade are $9.99 per trade, regardless of what type of account you have. I would look elsewhere for an lower commissions. Jack, yes, it's been tough to ride this one out. However, just remember that stocks go up and stocks go down. PVX has seen this level many times. Don't let the price of the stock influence your decision on the strength of the company. I think gas prices are going to rise again after the first of the year, which should help PVX's bottom line. GD, the Vanguard commissions you posted sound awfully high.

The CanRoys are eating me alive and spitting out the crums. I kinda wish I had the guts to double down on Pvx at $10 and count on your analysis to help me get well next Spring. I don’t know.

I have a question for you. I see that you are investing stocks in your Roth. I was wondering how do you do that taking into account the high commision costs. I recently opened a Roth with Vanguard and I want to buy some stocks there but I noticed that the commsison cost is the greater of $25 or .025/share which I think is quite expensive. Can you guide me on this? Thanks. GD Hi,
