there is a difference between doing research when selling vs. asking a company for advice and being required to take their price at least 80% of the time. there is also the issue of market concentration. generally speaking in a regular, healthy market many people hold stock and possibly undercut each other. In financial cases where there is actual price fixing going on (e.g. LIBOR) there has been a lot of prosecution.
