Linden,

And guess what? People still sue. And get away with it.

"Failed to understand the intitial contract" is usually where it starts. They put the broker in a position of having to prove that there was a "meeting of the minds" when the contract was signed. Then they point out that the risks were not expressed in terms that were well understood, etc.

I think a better way of stating the same thing is:

You want the freedom to do something that could be harmful to yourself? You've got to give up on holding somebody else accountable.

Unfortunately, even something that simple and obvious (to me) seems to require legislation these days.
