On the face of it a good idea. But in the 90s there was a good book that looked at business models and concluded that a "customer support" type organization couldn't also be a "lowest cost provider" type organization. I suspect that you could only add the "super customer support" by...

Its important for the little guy to do his bit.

Good points CP

Don't you think its more likely that they will do so as long as it sells paper, minutes, adverts etc. Blood on the streets sells ... then moralizing about other media overselling blood sells ... etc etc. So they'll sell "its ok" for a month or so and then sell "doom" a while later. Thats...

The biggest difference between the exchanges and the brokers is the level of competition. If IB or any other company can raise fees and improve their overall revenues while maintaining growth then they are likely to do so if the change fits their competitive position. But the competition for...

At least the OP was realistic ... and said he needed to smarten up. Well done.

brandon, At least we can be pleased that IB's tests etc keep some of the little n00bs away. From the more stupid complaints on ET I thought they were all getting in at IB. Happy days.
