Absolutely. If commissions dramatically impact trading results, the player is "fishin' in a dry hole".

I don't know about PFOF, but there have been several brokerage places who claim "commission free" trading... and they usually make theirs from wider spreads.

OK... Enough of your childish bitterness and envy. ON IGNORE!!

Sorry, no comprendo.

Convenient excuse, but not valid. At some point, everybody needs to "get over it" and make something of themselves if they want to be successful. And there is LOTS AND LOTS of help for the "disadvantaged".

Personally, my mom left when I was 5. My father committed suicide when I was 11. I then lived with a mean man who beat me until I ran away at 16. No gang bangers, no drugs.... but life wasn't a "bowl of cherries" when I was young. (I've hated 2 people in my life... the guy who beat me and...

The point is, I wasn't always doing "well". There were 2 times in my adult life when if I scraped up all of my cash, I couldn't have afforded a pizza.... the first time, I literally ate left over scraps at a friend's restaurant. The second time, I had to borrow money to eat. Of course I...

English, please?

America and capitalism were NEVER about "equal outcome", but rather "equal opportunity". Not that "great opportunity is handed out equally to all", but rather we're all free to make our own opportunity if we can. There are always stories about those who started a company or developed a web...

After your post, I read the Dalio story over twice. Just what is it that Handle "doesn't get"?

Not true. $USD... faulty fiat that it is... is still backed by "full faith and credit of US government's authority to levy tax upon us citizens"... to settle all debts... public and private. Crypto is backed by no such promise by anybody or anything.

Not true. "Belief" is good only to the extent it's accepted. "Belief in crypto is backed only by belief in crypto". You can't exchange it for anything else.

Whoa! No comparo at all. The desire for precious metals vs brass are not compatible on any planet. I don't want to hurt your feelings, but you're making a stupid argument in favor of cryptos. Suggest you turn on your analytical brain and shut down your emotional/hopeful one.

There is no "identical demand". The supply of gold/silver is relatively finite. The supply of cryptos is potentially INFINITE! There is no legitimate comparo of "precious metals-to-cryptos".

Lotta "hope" in that statement... Hopes which I believe are grounded in nothing..but that's just my view. (My grandpa said to me years ago, "Hope in one hand, shit in the other. See which one gets filled up first".)

So... your argument is in support of BTC only. I get the attraction of cryptos in general... and even BTC... but the real value and longevity remains to be seen.

Amazing how "stuffed with ONLY Democrat ballots". :)

Of course not. Nobody can stay in business "giving everything away for free". They gotta make money somewhere.... spreads, mostly. The "true cost" of a financial transaction = commission + spread + slippage. I once looked into the "cost" difference between the SPY and the ES futures. Turns...

Sheesh. You've argued the defeat of your own premise.

So... you're not "arguing in the favor of cryptos in general", but rather for BTC only? Because it's used in illegal drug transactions? Because it was first? And therefore, BTC has rational investment creds??
