FYI: If you're using one of the major online brokerages, chances are you can now trade for free. Before you were paying a few dollars each time you placed a trade, now that cost is zero, though a few hidden costs of free trading may remain. Should your investment strategy change now these costs have fallen?
The short answer is no. Yes your dollar costs of trading have fallen, but trading still takes time and effort and potentially has tax consequences. Also, over-trading may hurt your investment returns as there is quite a bit of evidence that more long-term oriented buy and hold investors see improved investment outcomes over time. Nonetheless, here are two things to consider in the new world of commission-free trading.
