About Penny Stock Brokers

A good broker can mean the difference between profit and being in the red. And this is something that all penny stock brokers want you to believe. And funny enough, or not, it is true.

While not all people require such a level of support as more sophisticated stock traders, penny stocks or pink sheets or not, having solid support from a reliable broker really can make a difference from being in the red or the black. Especially when the power goes out and you forgot to hook up the generator, or didn't have one to begin with. Hopefully if you have a UPS power system for your computer that is at least working for you.

In any event, the common givens are to go for low commissions, or as a baseline a good commission structure. You and I should not be concerned about how much money the broker is trying to rake in for themselves, we're the people who are trying to make money. If you notice a brokerage using questionable tactics with your account it's probably time to move on if they are not giving you a good reason to any inquiry you ask of them.

This is not to say that all Penny Stock Brokers are crooks, in fact the majority of them are not and they would probably be the first to laugh at the notion. But it does not hurt going with a brokerage firm that has retail offices and good support. You may never know when you need to pick up the phone and it's a nice thing to have a human on the other end to help you when you really need it.

So if you can somehow combine good support, low commissions, preferably no non-activity fees, and a good platform to trade from you are going to be in pretty good shape.
