It's like a free car magazine: car dealers' ads pay for it. It's useful to read, but it matters to understand who is paying.
What this means for you. We review all brokers by the same yardsticks — license, fees, protection of your money — both those who pay us and those who don't. We don't choose for you and don't recommend “the best” one. You will check a broker yourself — the next lesson shows how.
