we will be like US, more retail investors will use discount brokers

Hi FL,

What is discount broker ?
In Hong kong , all are dealers working for brokering house. No remisiers.

Thanks.

Now online trading you could go down to as low as 0.15% (Saxo offers that, which is cheaper than their CFDs, although I think they don't advertise it).

That's hefty savings!
My remiser charges me the same rate as online trading even if i call him to execute a trade.
