📈 Reflecting on the Historic May Day of 1975 🌟 Today marks a pivotal moment in the history of the U.S. stock markets. On May 1st, 1975, after 180 years of operating under a fixed price commission model, brokerages transitioned to a new era of varying commission rates driven by market competition. Before this groundbreaking change, investors faced fixed-rate commissions regardless of trade size, leading to significant profit erosion for small investors. Commissions could soar into the hundreds of dollars, making trading inaccessible for many. The shift to a competitive commission structure on this day empowered investors of all sizes. It introduced a fairer system where commissions were determined by market forces, ultimately fostering a more inclusive and dynamic investment landscape. May Day 1975 was a turning point that paved the way for greater accessibility and fairness in the stock market. It epitomizes the importance of adapting to market dynamics and embracing change for the benefit of all investors. Let's take a moment to recognize this historic milestone and its lasting impact on the financial world. How has this change influenced your perspective on investing?
