any combination of sale and purchase of a SINGLE given stock in the same day is a day trade.

for your example the google purchase is irrelevant. if you don't have a margin account, your buying power limits can become be a defacto control on how much day trading you can do. an occasional day trade is not a problem, but if the SEC definition if pattern day trader ever becomes applicable, your cash account will have limits imposed.

I'm making good profit with penny stock. Check here http://trade-pennystock.checkhere.info

Many new investors are lured to the appeal of a penny stock due to the low price and potential for rapid growth which may be as high as several hundred percent in a few days. Similarly, severe loss can occur and many penny stocks lose all of their value in the long term. Accordingly, the SEC warns that penny stocks are high risk investments and new investors should be aware of the risks involved but you can even make very big money. These risks include limited liquidity, lack of financial reporting, and fraud. A penny stock is a common stock that trades for less than $5 a share. While penny stocks generally are quoted over-the-counter, such as on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets, they may also trade on securities exchanges, including foreign securities exchanges. In addition, penny stocks include the securities of certain private companies with no active trading market. Although a penny stock is said to be "thinly traded," share volumes traded daily can be in the hundreds of millions for a sub-penny stock. Legitimate information on penny stock companies can be difficult to find and a stock can be easily manipulated.

I am confused on the matter of day trading. So I don't have a margin account, just a standard Brokerage account. I am curious to know if me buying for example Apple shares and selling it and then buying Google shares and selling it is considered a day trade. Will I be penalized for buying and selling multiple company shares in a day or is it just buying and selling from the same company?
