Penny Stock Brokers

Are you wondering which of the many penny stock brokers out there should you use when buying penny stocks? There are many choices available to you. In this post, I’ll list a few for you to choose from.

It’s no longer like it was back in the days when you had to deal with a small brokerage firm to be able to trade penny stocks and accept whatever fee they were going to charge you. Even in the beginning of the online stock brokers, you weren’t able to trade but a few stocks valued under $1.00 and to trade sub-penny stocks (< $0.01) was out of the question. Today most of the popular online brokers like, TD Ameritrade, Scottrade, Zecco and E-Trade will take orders for penny stocks.

So the question is, which one? In my opinion, I prefer to use TD Ameritrade. They were recommended to me by a friend and I’m glad I did. I have also dealt with E-Trade as well, but the tools and the customer service I receive from TD Ameritrade surpasses E-trade, so now I only use them. Their fees per trade ($9.95) are more on the higher end than their competitors, but since I do so many trades per year, when I mentioned that I was thinking of going somewhere else, they lowered the fee for all of my accounts to just $7.00 per trade no matter how many shares I purchase.

Scotttrade is just as good as TD Ameritrade with their tools, but from a few traders I talk to say their customer service leaves something to be desired. Their transaction fee is less than TD Ameritrade at just $7.00 per trade. but for trading penny stocks they charge an extra fee. They refer to it as a Low Price Stock Fee. Scottrade will charge ½% for stocks under $1.

For those of you who have your own Stock market software, you might not need to use one of the mentioned websites. So in that case you need to look at Zecco. This online stock broker only charges $4.50 per trade, no matter the size. They also have the least amount (actually none) of fees. Zecco doesn’t have a minimum balance requirement either. Great for investors who are starting out with a small portfolio. Zecco also offers 10 free trades per month providing you do a certain amount of trades per month.

There are so many that I really can’t list them all here in this one post. Look for yourself and you will see more choices than you were really looking for. Everyone is different and so are their lives, so you are the only one that can make this decision for you. Most of these penny stock brokers applications will only take you ten minutes to fill out and transferring money is easy too.
