Commission-free stock trading hasn’t, though. If you’re only trading a couple of shares at a time, $5-10 for a trade is a pretty steep fee.

Fix your stock exchanges to have stock splits then like the LSE does.

The fees I am referencing were imposed by brokers, not exchanges. Our exchanges have stock splits, but that still doesn't make a $10 fee on a single $50 share very palatable to the small-time investor.

A 50$ share should be split which was my point and tbh if your only investing $50 you should not be investing in individual shares.
