The commission structure was decided in part to make back-then stockbrokers look like businesspeople, and not like idiot sons of rich fathers with pretend jobs. <br /><br />There isn't enough current dissastisfaction to make an entrepreneur set up a full-service shop with brokers on fixed professional-level salaries, though. It's long been advocated, but never been followed through upon. [At least, I don't know of any shop that's tried it.] Some brokerage houses have tried an asset-based fee structure, but the only brokers who qualify are those who've fought their way out of the commission trenches. That experiment may have even been folded.Daniel M.
