To know the definition of bucket shops, ...Hi SMOL,<br /><br />To know the definition of bucket shops, we can google it and read about it. To truly understand how it works, you have to read about it through stories and literature. I think my first encounter of the bucket shop comes from the book by Edwin Lefèvre. In it, he describes how he is able to beat such shops to the extent that they stop taking his trades. <br /><br />It'll be an interesting way to remember bucket shops, rather than through its definition hahala papillionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01372278083694506953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897513886211197509.post-55682771397189219712016-12-19T20:03:27.589+08:002016-12-19T20:03:27.589+08:00Hor.
