Brokerage Firm Customers

BE ADVISED: Most brokerage firms treat their individual investors as short-term traders, and profits are down as a result! Only 3 of 16 major brokerage firms matched the growth of the S&P 500 Index. But 9 of 16 firms in 1996 had turnover ratios of 100% or more, a possible case of churning/excessive trading, and bad planning for tax purposes. For 1997, 11 of the 16 are on track to reach 100% turnover!
