Brokers take a transaction fee.

  Actually in this regard you could argue poker is fairer due to its transparency. Poker has a fixed rake that everyone knows about and can see. Brokers can charge variable commissions and time their trades to their advantage, all while the investor has no visibility to his broker's actions.

    You can use internet brokers and look at the limit order book yourself.
