Yesterday, I actually posted in the RIGHT Forum Whatever's On Your Mind about my concern about my Walgreens Stock plummeting to a sad $42 a share, HALF of what it was just four years ago. Even sadder is that with commission and fees I'd end up in the RED since the commission and fees combined are $69, $27 more than the share!
Most brokerages are NO commissions. Even if you are dealing with a ghetto brokerage like a “Buy Here, Pay Here” car dealer the fee is overall on the trade. So a $69 fee would be for the entire trade, not per share. The only way you would be negative is it you only have one share.

Is this money in an employer sponsored retirement fund? If so you would also pay an IRS penalty for taking it out early as well.

While the smart thing might be to take your losses, sell it and try to gain it back in a penny slot, you might just want to hold it and wait it out.
