When u think about it, Why wouldn't a traditional broker kick the OLB's(and down grade them)while they are down ? After all, who took millions of their accounts and are making them spend more millions to compete now ? Even the NYSE is moving fast for a change. IMO, this is just a revenge move to slow their growth. Every broker knows there are Millions more clients almost ready for net brokerages. The more of this we get out of the way, the stronger the move up will be. Wonder why we never see a buy rating on net brokers by the traditionals? (possible that would be seen as lending credibility?)
