What Does This Mean?

Churning is a fraudulent investment practice that many less than scrupulous securities brokers take part in. Brokers are compensated for their services by charging their customers a percentage of their principal investment whenever executing a transaction on their behalf. Churning occurs when a securities broker executes trades in a customer's account to an excessive frequency with the express purpose of increasing their own commissions. This act can be detrimental to investors due to the fees and trading losses that can substantially drain their principal investments beyond the point of seeing any desired returns.
