If you put in a market order and the stock is not liquid it could easily raise the price to 5 of 10 cents per share to fill your order, only to drop back down to roughly 1 cent again after your order is filled. If you put in a limit order it will not raise the price above the limit you specified, but you might not get your entire order filled. If the stock is liquid it likely will have no impact on the stock price. There is no way to know without knowing how liquid the stock is.

TD does hammer you. Been there, done that! Have you tried optionsxpress.ca ? They don't just do options. Their rates are great ($14.95 per trade and work on a sliding scale). Check out The only problem with them is that they won't allow you to buy Canadian stocks (?!?) Go figure. Anyway, another one to look at is Questrade.com they charge from $9.95 per trade on Canadian and US stock. Their setup is quite confusing though. They are apparently quite good, but I found it too complicated, so went to Optionsxpress, but may go back to Questrade for my Canadian trades. Hope that helps!!
