If monthly profit avg = 8,000 Avg vol = 750,000 shares You are paying 113$ in commish and 800 in split, for a total of 913. To get 100% payout, a firm will charge at the very least 2$ per 1000. So commish = 1500 and split 0 for a total of 1500$ in costs (vs 913 currently). At...

Funny you should mention that. I am actively seeking a faster news/rumors service myself. Not easy to come by.
