            src="/images/t.gif">he popularity of online stock trading has 
            exploded as individual investors have come to believe that their 
            computers put them on the same level as the professionals, at a very 
            low cost. 
            <P>But it is becoming increasingly clear that online trading is far 
            costlier than most investors think. Moreover, it does little to 
            level the investment playing field. Instead, judging from a report 
            released last week by the General Accounting Office, online 
            brokerage firms are Wall Street's latest incarnation of the Wild 
            Wild West. 
            <P>Government researchers collected data from 12 online firms in 
            1999. They were not identified, but they accounted for almost 90 
            percent of online trades. 
            <P>Delays and breakdowns were a big problem -- so common at one firm 
            that it said management did not track them. 
            <P>Online firms provide customers with little information, the 
            G.A.O. found, on the risks of margin trading -- that is, using 
            borrowed money to buy stocks. Nearly half the companies did not 
            detail the risks for their customers opening margin accounts; only a 
            third posted on their Web sites such information as the list of 
            stocks they would not allow customers to buy on margin. One investor 
            found he had bought such a stock only when his broker called to 
            demand $75,000. 
            <P>But even these problems pale compared with the difficulties 
            investors have getting online trades executed at the best possible 
            price. Good execution is crucial to improving investors' profits. 
            But because the way a firm handles a trade is not as apparent as the 
            $8 commission it charges, few investors understand how important 
            execution is or how they can be victimized. 
            <P>Included in the report was a review by the Securities and 
            Exchange Commission of 29 online brokerage firms. Last year, the 
            S.E.C. found, more than half were not meeting their obligation to 
            provide the best execution for their customers' trades. A major 
            reason is that most online firms have other firms complete their 
            customers' trades in exchange for payments of as much as 1 or 2 
            cents a share. These payments, big surprise, determine where a 
            customer's order is sent, even if another market or trader is 
            offering a better price. On a 1,000-share sale, a customer would 
            receive $62.50 more if he got a price one-sixteenth above the 
            prevailing market. 
            <P>Of the 29 firms the S.E.C. investigated, 17 "improperly 
            emphasized payment for order flow in deciding where to send orders." 
            The regulators said the firms did not even try to assess the prices 
            available from trading firms other than those that were paying them. 
            Indeed, most routed orders to traders whose execution quality was 
            well below industry averages. 
            <P>It is high time investors understand that payment for order flow 
            is corrupting trade executions at many online firms -- and costing 
            investors a bundle. 
            <P>Steve Galbraith, a senior analyst at Sanford Bernstein, an 
            investment firm in New York, said such conduct helped explain the 
            outsized profitability of some online brokerage firms. 
            <P>"Execution is the securities industry's best-kept secret, and 
            payment for order flow is part of that," Mr. Galbraith said. "You're 
            seeing monopolistic-type returns in what really should be 
            structurally an economically competitive industry. I think it's one 
            of <I>the</I> paradoxes of the market today." 
            <P>Senator Carl Levin, the Michigan Democrat who requested the 
            G.A.O. study, agreed. "Pay for order flow is a good deal for the 
            broker but is too often a bad deal for their clients," he said. "The 
            S.E.C. needs to get after this problem quickly and aggressively." 
            Until then, investors are vulnerable to bad executions and the high 
            costs associated with them. 
            <P>The S.E.C. should require brokerage firms to monitor trade 
            executions, tracking how many trades are done at prices better than 
            those specified by investors. This is the information age. Why 
            should investors be clueless about how much money they are losing 
            when they trade 
            stocks?&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR><!--plsfield:NYT_FOOTER--><NYT_FOOTER
