I just started day trading. I joined TradeKing. $4.95 a trade. Penny stocks are a little more. I made some money with Citigroup. Bought low and sold on the upswing. I got out at 40%. If I would have stayed longer I could have made 80%. I am holding QQQQ. I plan on buying more a little at a time and staying for the long haul. My big profit maker has been DXO. It is an oil ETF fund. I'll buy and sell it a couple times a day, or hold a couple days depending on how it's moving. So far I'm up over 20% in 4 weeks. I'm having fun with it, but it is nerve racking trying to time the market.
