Without market makers or specialists market orders become imprudent due to the possibility of temporary periods of illiquidity -- lack of bids/offers near recent execution prices -- in any given security. Can the "regular guy ... the one who really fuels the stock market with his hard earned dollars" be re-educated to use only limit orders? Or, if he gives the equivalent of a market order to an agent/broker who then places and monitors limit orders, can the customer be re-educated to wait a few hours or days for a fill/confirmation? Relatively few securities have the utter liquidity of the big tech/net stocks. Without market participants who undertake a responsibility for providing liquidity, the "regular guy" who wants to buy or sell a few shares of Podunk Steel & Bagel is going to have to become accustomed to some trading inconveniences.
