Tornado Alley (PROG)

[newmedman]

Just my 2 cents as I don't have a dog in this fight but I think that the large brokerage firms are trying to push out the accomplished day traders from home like Zab.. He sits at home, sets his orders and screws up the larger firm's algorithms that they use to move the market..

If they make it harder for folks like him, it most likely helps them in the long run because it's easier for them to control the flow of market activity without outside influence of good traders that don't use algorithms to get through the day.

Now, that's just pure speculation on my part and I could be way off the mark but in my mind it makes sense.. The large firms discourage day trading and just want everyone to be "investors", in other words, "just park all your money with us and we'll take care of you" .. It's not fair but I think that trend has been happening for awhile now.
