...surprised that you suggested no escape plan for the average CEBUS victim. Mine is workable, simple, and guaranteed to trim the waistline while liberating the mind from ugh-plugs.

Specifically, the Big Board can either trim its rates on transactions of more than 400 shares or do away with minimum commissions on deals involving $50,000 or more, leaving it to brokers and high-volume customers to work out fees on their own.
