The future of OLBs One day, this industry will saturate. From a managerial economic view point, prices will come down and small OLBs will be forced out or taken over due to enormous price pressure. This industry will be an oligopoly with a small number of OLBs with market dominance. Then there will be a great chance that OLBs will avoid cutthroat competition and succeed in maintaining higher prices. The bottom line is: there will be industry wide consolidation for OLBs because of the price war. After the consolidation, only a few OLBs will emerge as a much stronger force and at that time, they can command a higher fee. Now the question is: Will E*Trade be a winner or a casualty in this consolidation?
