Part of the issue here is that we are dealing with competing interests. "Real brokers" have an interest in posting deflated prices to keep their costs down. Sellers have an interest in posting inflated ones to get paid more. Why are the deflated numbers from real brokers better than the inflated ones from sellers?
Why not put buy rate and sell rate (with clarification of what those terms mean), just like all currencies are quoted?
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Is it better to have one AA account with 195k in it, or 2 accounts; one with 135k the other with 60k?
I understand that 135k is a good #. What's the next good amount?
