    Shaolin Spread education

    Nice post Mpoufos, Sounds like you guys are getting much lower commisions than what we were offered at the time. i think it was 1.26, which isn't crazy but will make a big difference at the end of day. The deal we were offered was very similar to yours only that if we put down 5k and did our...
