In the world of securities investments, "churning" refers to excessive movement of money between investment options, often for the purpose of generating activity fees or commissions for the licensed broker or investment adviser. Churning may also be a telltale of covering up losses or fraudulent practices that the adviser does not wish the client to discover.
For the investor, churning usually results in very little investment opportunity for gain and often results in significant brokerage fees, financial losses from selling options at a loss, and buying into other options at an inflated price.
