Today, trading is all done on the computers, and information is provided by middleware.

Since most market makers(685) only handled perhaps 16 stocks each. And only one of sixteen can get all the attention and resources, not many stocks out of 8000+ in each exchange can have more than a penny, up or down.

You can test the middleware by quotes of different volume and see how much monetary change you can get. If it always is limited to one penny, there is no use to put cash into that stock.

Cash is king and money market funds pay close to 4.5%.
