Spoc- you're killin' me with this Bob Hope-Generation thinking.
" all these newbie investors who think that an online account is a game have a shock coming to them."
i mean, let's face it. it is a game. and everyone will need to play. the fact that we're all responsible for our own decisions, is a given going in.
the days when you did your 30 years with the company and retired,with a gold watch and a pension, are over. this is a new time, my friend. everyone, and now especially those of us who spent those few days on Max Yasger's farm, need every available tool, to help secure our own future. and that will include online investment accounts. something with all the benefits of brokerage, and all the conveniences of banking. sure there'll be bandwidth problems, and missed communications, and "daytraders" and hype, along the way.
but there will also be opportunity. and that's really all there need be.
