Schwab seems to do things a bit differently than everyone else. They were early in understanding the power of ECNs as evidenced by smart-order acquisition of CyberTrader in 2000. They set up an independent algorythm to rate stocks, instead of faulty analyst method espoused by peers. They've managed to avoid the mistakes of E-Trade-- getting heavily into mortgages. Schwab should benefit long term from the lack of trust in major investment banks such as Morgan Stanley, CitiGroup/Smith-Barney, Merrill, Lehman and Bear. Trust is the #1 asset of investment banks, and its unclear if these ...

Thesis is simple here, with the elimination of Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Lehman Bros, Schwab is becoming more attractive as a premium-service broker. Best of all, it can establish itself as a safe place to park capital. Schwab has been innovative too. Their systematic algorythm-style method for ranking/picking stocks is interesting, more interesting than the mostly horrible human picks at other firms. They should stop selling their trades to outside parties and raise commissions though-- the time is right.

We all know that the brokers play an integral part in both trading and investing. Everyone who trades needs a brokerage account, and some people have multiple accounts with various brokers. These brokers make their money based upon the commissions that they receive, generally on a per trade basis. This has been a profitable model for these brokers, as the market conditions of years past have been bullish, which encourages people to put their money to work in the financial markets. The more money people put to work in the markets, the more commissions the brokers can earn. <>But with thoughts o...

3/24 - "One of my smartest hedgie contacts just pinged me about the financials. According to him it seems to be getting pretty close to do or die for them:"
"Bottom line: while there are reasons to be less negative, the issues cited above suggest it's too early to put on a big upside bet in financials on a one- to two-quarter view, especially considering the 16% move we've already seen off the bottom. Expect continued volatility, although probably less than we've seen the past couple of quarters, with a decent likelihood of a near-term retrenchment after the big moves of the past few days ...

If you think May Day was bad. These guys are in for a jolt as retail brokerage commissions head to zero. Zecco is just the first of these. Now BofA. This is not the type of stocks I want to be holding. If you pull the financials you will see that the average commission per customer has been dropping. Things will get worse.
