RE:SuperSpud29 fumbles again LOL. I hate to interject into the battle of wits but Weasley never ceases to amaze. Maybe the dumbest bag of hammers on the internet.
"Besides, if the cumulative shares purchased by one or more clients of one broker from a paricular brokerage could be referred to as a book, the cumulative amount from all brokers from that firm could easily be understood as the brokerages book. At least a kid in grade one would not have difficulty understanding that concept."
Weasley, if I had a broker and he bought shares on my behalf they aren't his shares or the brokerages shares. They aren't part of the brokerages book. They are my shares. Full stop. Not only is it funny you don't understand this, you throw in a closing insult like a chefs kiss to your idiocy.
