You get what you pay for. Professional NASDAQ market makers often provide incentives to discount brokers for order flow. That means most of us may not get the best deal on a stock's price, even if the trading commission is dirt cheap. Stock market success comes with a price. Besides, most online investors are better off sitting on their choices, not playing internet roulette.
