You bring up some good points. However, investors should not be concerned with a normal spread since they should only be concerned with long term growth. If the stock can't grow more than the spread in a reasonable amount of time then there's something wrong with the stock. The spread hurts day traders, I'll grant you that. Even in computerized matching, there will still be a spread. That is the result of having limit orders. I can see where market orders can matched between the bid and ask, but if there is no matching order the market order will have to hit the bid or ask and you will end up with an immediate loss by the spread. This is unavoidable. ...tai
