"Here is how this process generally works: 1. A day trader joins a chat site, where he/she may be asked to provide privileged information about which broker he/she currently uses; 2. The site recommends one or more brokers, with whom the site has made illegal payment-for-order-flow agreements; 3. The trader becomes a client of the recommended broker; 4. The broker reports to the chat site the account has been opened; 5. The brokerage and/or chat site may "train" the trader in the hopes he/she does not go bankrupt too soon; 6. The site issues countless buy and sell advisories, in an effort to rack up as high a trading volume of its members for commissions as possible; 7. For providing this commission revenue stream, the broker pays the chat site a percentage of all commissions (often as high as 30%);" Unfrickenbelievable!!! I still say it is scandalous that SI allowed this to continue for so long.IMO
