The average trade size

posted on Jan 27, 2011 12:45PM

so far thiis morning is about 6K.

6000 shares at .11 = $660

6000 shares at .12 = $720

The difference being $60. Now contrast that to your overall portfolio and the net effect it has on your balance after a decade of accumulation.

Is the $60 savings worth it? Is the real savings just going to be passed on to new investors when they arrive, allowing them a lower entry point, and thus a lower exit ?

I guess 60 bucks is 60 bucks to some people, but buying at the ask, rather than the bid, may just be the better investment move for those with established positions.
