<p>OT - ALU - I know I've posted this before, but am considering buying some more either pre- post- or both earnings. In calculalting how many shares $5k would buy, 1400-1500. I'm still somewhat astounded that the bank/brogerage fee of .02/share would come to about $300 on that trade. And, as I've written, that's a fee that can be imposed, apparently, repetitively - I see some ADRs that do it as frequently as quarterly. Unless I'm missing something, that's a hell of a commission.</p>
