Implications: Whether markets are up or down - if a trading company such as TD Ameritrade (merged from many different trading companies and platforms), Scottrade, Schwab, Knight, etc runs their business efficiently, trade volume effect growth.Seems that towards the end (long trade exits - short trade entrance) of a bull market, and beginning (long trade entrance - short trade cover) of a bull market the equity trades intensify.

Analysis:  Along with the transaction revenue - entering the beginning of bull markets  without mortgage credit exposures, the asset management business will attract more principal (growing fees) and present better investment opportunities.  Ameritrade's acquisition of Fiserv's investment support services business helped with asset management growth.
