It is not skepticism. Those who have the larger ad budget also have a larger number of customers and the cycle just becomes self-fulfilling. Even if the authors have asked specific questions, the results would not be any different.

I bet the ranking reflects 1:1 the advertising budgets they use, not fills, quality of execution or platform.

isn't GLD an equity-based product? Why would options on it be treated as a Futures contract tax wise? Just curious.
