Hi, thx for the comment. For options trading it's certainly not a fraction of a cent..
I do agree though that DIY approach to investing is more advantageous than going with mutual funds that charge fund fees.
My feedback is that issue has such an incredibly small bearing on inequality. The vast majority of wall street banks/hedge funds make their money in other ways. You could fix this entirely and practically see no difference in the size of wall street.
Its fractions of a cent per order which is very small. Compare that to money that mutual funds take in expense ratios on a yearly basis. I'm not even saying that these expense ratios are always unjustified - but a small percentage of tens of billions of money in pension funds is going to end up sending a lot of money out. Much more so than this.
