<<Traders just don't get it, do they. The spend more money on commissions then they will ever make trading stocks.>> That's a weird criticism. All it means is that a trader's pretax profit margin is less than 50%. If I spend $20,000 in commissions to make $35,000 a week trading, thereby netting $15,000, I'm not going to complain about the commissions. I further submit that if I did that and I were a publicly traded company, then you would buy and hold my stock and even start an SI thread about how great the company was with its fat margins.
