Transferring Your Account is Also as Easy as 1-2-3:

If you currently have an account with another broker but you want better rates, better service or simply need another broker to work with (one familiar with the Common Sense Commodities course), we're ready to work for you.  In addition to the account form, simply fill out this one page form Account Transfer and fax to us. There is no need to contact your current broker. CSC will take care of all the necessary paperwork.

Common Sense Capital will not charge you any fees associated with transferring your account.

Call us today, to get the ball rolling.


Commissions Should Be Affordable:

It is our belief that a brokerage firm should provide its clients with prompt and courteous service that does not cost an "arm and a leg."  Commissions and fees are a cost of doing business for the trader, but they should not be so high as to be prohibitive to your trading. 

Of course, any commission rate is too high if the brokerage firm is not providing quality service.  Some of our services include our award winning research, experienced brokers, excellent technical analysis and of course access to David Duty of Common Sense Commodities.
