Bunch of whining babies! There is nothing wrong with the market! Trading is getting to be better then it was in the mid 90's. Stop the excuses and learn to adapt. The fed is manipulating the markets but that has been the case before most of us were born! It's the Fed and that is their job. By hook or by crook they will get what they want! Just because you don't agree with the market does not mean you should slander it. In the traders Bible that is blasphemy and that is the only unforgivable sin!
How about the banks and brokers learn to trade like anyone else! Do their research and then decide what side of the market they want to make a market in.... They have had enough free lunches....
What's left for investment banks once they take out trading FICC? How will they make money? Corporate finance? M&A? What else is there?
