DislikedThese numbers just further the point that the market is rigged for big firms and banks to become bigger. I bet those profitable account percentages would be even lower for equities brokers such as E*Trade, TDA, and Scottrade.Ignored
It's a zero sum market... the sum of all losers = the sum that all the winners make.
This could be why it's very difficult to get system profitability or percentage of winners vs losers over the 80% mark.
The biggest advantage a bank holds is knowing where the stops are. More or less the same advantage the house holds in casino gambling.
