568.0. "Standard Commission Rate Schedule" by CPDW::ROSCH () Fri Sep 10 1993 14:17

    Would someone please post a 'standard' commission rate schedule? I
    realize it's all deregulated but when an ad from a discount broker says
    they'll save you 70% - it's 70% compared to what?  Thanks.

568.1Compared to Full Commission Houses...SWLAVC::HOSSEINIFri Sep 10 1993 17:2014
    I don't think there is such thing as standard commissions.  However,
    when a discount broker claims to save you money they are comparing with
    full commission brokers.  The one I use "Kennedy Cabbot & Co." here
    in Los Angeles Charges: (for any stock at any price:)
    
    1 - 99 (odd lots)     $20 + $3 (handling fee)
    100 - 999             $30  "
    1000 - 2000           $0.03/shr (minimum $30)
    Over 2000             $0.02/shr
