There are generally commissions to be paid on both purchase and sales.

The commission becomes less of an issue if the shares are held for a long time (fewer total buys and sells).
The commission is also a smaller part of the transaction if you buy/sell a larger number of shares and you can get a flat-rate commission (i.e. same cost regardless of the number of shares or their value).

The rapid buy and sell approach is more likely to generate income for the brokerage house than the shareholder.
