Regarding your March 4 reply (Reply #71), I have three comments/questions: 1. You discussed the case where the stock was purchased on the Midwest Exchange, and this increased the share price paid by $0.125. Is the share price of purchases at all non-NYSE exchanges higher than if the same purchase made at the NYSE? Is the increased cost (1/8th in your example) some type of service charge or fee? Is there some way to ensure that we are getting the best share price, other than a limit order? 2. You discuss at great length how a discount broker does not serve the individual stock investor's needs as well as a full-service broker. You go on to use this as evidence to discredit Bob Brinker. Mr. Brinker specifically states that he recommends mutual funds for the core a well diversified portfolio, not individual stocks. 3. I also noticed Bob's emphasis on the subject of increasing the margin rates from 50% to 80%. I don't understand this stance, since I believe that only a very small percentage of the multi-trillion-dollar equity market is owned on margin and increasing the margin will have little effect on the long-term market direction. I look forward to your response.
