IMHO from the individual traders perspective, slippage is a more
important issue than commissions. For larger individual traders
commissions are usually either measured in fixed dollar amounts or in
much smaller percentages than 0.5% and as such can almost be
ignored. Slippage however is a different ball game and is not so
easily ignored for stock traders.
