>Are they fleecing the little guy then?

Yes, more or less (although that's just one way they make money, and probably not the most lucrative) And fortunately for them there are plenty of "little guys" ready to enter the market on a regular basis.

My point exactly, not the most lucrative. So what remains is the implicit assertion they are fleecing the big time guys. And somehow the big time guys remain in business... so what's going on?
