I didn't even know that's a word!

I am seriously contemplating going in Bombay Company again.

I was in and out for couple months, and now the stock has been delisted and trading over-the-counter for $0.46/share.

Pick up 3-5000 shares for a merger/take-over play?!?!?! What do you think?

Not for me, I don't even go near the feminine aisle, much less pink slips...

The stock is technically not a pink slip. Pink slips are BK Co.'s. It's just OTC....

Even without the pink, still no?

Well, since the broker charges more, I don't mess with 'em. I've already got one (JMAR) that dipped into the abyss.

Scottrade, but it's still a pain.

Order Method Price
Internet $7
Touchtone (IVR) Phone System $17
Broker Assisted $27
For stocks priced under $1, add ½% of the principal value to the commissions shown. Some foreign and pink sheet stocks must be traded with broker assistance. Commissions are charged on a per order basis. Limit orders executed over multiple days and orders modified after a partial execution on the same day will be treated as separate orders for commission calculation purposes. A majority of orders must be executed online to qualify for the online commission rates. Scottrade receives compensation for certain equity and option orders as described more completely in our Order Routing and Execution page. Generally, this compensation will take the form of payment for order flow, profit sharing arrangements, liquidity rebates or possible trading profits if Scottrade executes the order as a principal. For non-online accounts, the commission for market and limit orders is the broker assisted rate plus .02 per share for stocks that are $1 and above.

I guess there is that 1/2 % kicker for stocks under a buck, but that's not bad at all.

Pink Sheet and OTCBB securities
At TD AMERITRADE, you can trade Over the Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) or pink sheet securities, and get free real-time bid and ask quotes for them. And online trades are still only $9.99 per Internet equity order, regardless of the price of the security or the number of shares you trade. Please note, though, that OTCBB and pink sheet securities are often very volatile and subject to increased risks. Trading is subject to special rules. Clients should review these rules prior to engaging in OTCBB and pink sheet securities trading.

At $9.99/trade, you probably save a little with TD Ameritrade on OTC and PK stocks.

Anybody with some interesting picks? I still have about 70% of portfolio liquid, so... my itchy fingers are eager to pull the trigger.

Just sold the remaining shares of FNSR and AVNX in my portfolio. Now I am 90+% liquid....

I am almost too chicken to buy in right now.....

I know what you mean, we're at least 80% ourselves.

I did just jump into EXPD; looking to top out at $56 by June of next year.
