Column: Discount Brokers Finally Found the Bottom
Submitted by paula on Thu, 10/17/2019 - 3:36pmDiscount brokers competing to drive client growth have been in a race to the bottom when it comes to fees. I for one believe this is a good thing. Yes, more people should have access to the financial markets at lower costs. That is a good thing. This could even be good as these firms may actually compete with traditional brick and mortar banks for new clients as well and bringing a higher level of banking experience to more people.
I like that the “Discount Brokers” have finally found the bottom $0.
Unfortunately, they are still in the business of making money, how though?
