Stock commissions eat into investor costs on market deals
A Cleveland Plain Dealer note explains stock exchange commissions reduce purchasing power. Brokers charge one eighth of one percent on NYSE trades and one sixteenth on Consolidated trades, applied to par value, not market price. For 100 Steel shares at 40, the buyer faces 25 total commissions, while the broker profits from every trade regardless of market movement.
