I was wondering if anyone had any opinion on this:

I was looking through the Yahoo profiles of the brokerages, and tried to compare the
profit margins. This is what I found.

Quick & Reilly 15.0%
Ameritrade 14.0%
AG Edwards 13.0%
Schwab 12.0%
H & Q 12.0%
Raymond James 11.0%
Bear Stearns 10.0%
Legg Mason 8.8%
DLJ 8.6%
Etrade 7.8%
Merrill Lynch 6.1%
Paine Webber 5.8%
J.B. Oxford 4.7%

Now I realize that JBOH is considered a "discount broker", and so is Etrade, and
possibly DLJ, at least a portion. Looking at the profit margin, is there room for
growth? I think there could be, which could help contribute to earnings. But, how
high could the profit margin go? Do the other divisions/subsidiaries of JBOH also
affect the profit margin? Could JBOH triple their profit margin towards 15% like Quick
& Reilly(don't they have an online division?)? Wouldn't that triple the earnings?
Not sure if I am right here, but just wondering about the profit margin.

Any opinions welcome.
