A well argued article. However, at Bursa it is an unlevel playing field.Retail punters are always at the losing ends due to payment of higher brokerages. Thank you.

MichaelTeo, allow me to comment. Both of us have been in the market for many years and if you may recall, the trading commission rate was as high as 1.0% for retailers like us. However with the introduction of computers and online trading, it has now come down to as low as 0.1%. On the other hand, the clearing fees and stamp duty do not follow suit.
