Yahoo! Finance reports after hours stock trading activity. How can I participate?

Hi Yardbird,
Most decent brokers will allow you to participate in after hours trading. But, you have to submit it as a separate order. Usually on your order screen there'll be an option to select to trade after hours (or extended hours). Sometimes, it's a different tab like "trade extended hours."
It'll be just like placing a regular order, but just routing it to extended hours screen so it doesn't queue up for the next session.
If your broker doesn't offer this and you're interested in it, you might need to look for another broker.
Optionsxpress and thinkorswim are two good ones.
Hope that helps!

If you buy through TRUE after hours trading, you actually buy at the time of the trade at the price at that time. If you place an order after hours with a traditional brokerage, they will buy the next day, but not necessarily at the opening price. The opening price is actually just the price of the first trade of the day.
