Yesterday, I bought 2,000,000 shares of sanp through Scottrade. Although I had to use a broker I still was only charged the online internet charge. I did not have to pay the broker assisted charge. I just told Scottrade that I was unable to put in a buy order myself. He said no problem !
I had a confirmation of my completed buy order at .0012 and .0013 for 2,000,000 shares within a couple of minutes because it was two separate orders.
