I took a gamble yesterday and bought $500 of shares in order to get my parcel ownership back to a size that could then be traded through CommSec. I have just sold again with my residual shares thrown in so have at least reaped what miserly amount I owned and covered my trade costs by selling at 1 tick up. Overall a huge 93% loss but at least I got the residual amount out rather than owning some useless shares that I can't trade without exorbitent fees (not withstanding the low value).
