What Does This Mean?

Excessive Trading, or churning, is a deceptive trading practice instituted by securities brokers like Gary Guglielmo. It centers around the securities broker trading a customer's account excessively even if it has no financial benefit to the investor. The reason they do it then is because it generates additional commissions for each trade they execute. Despite its fraudulent nature, many securities brokers continue to engage in this practice.
