Advice vs. price
Article Abstract:
Traditional stockbrokers are increasingly facing competition from online trading firms which offer faster services at lower costs. Brokers, who once charged as much as $300 per trade, are losing clients who believe that they can do their own research and trade online for as low as $8. As a result, full-service brokerages such as Merrill Lynch are launching their own online trading services to protect their market share.

The expanded trading hours is also meant to counter competition from electronic commerce networks.
