Damn, Poet, no one can put this any better.

Financial institutions have no 'morality' in trading stock, commodities, bonds, gold.

This is such BS manipulation to further exploit the masses. The controlled 'retail investors.' Mostly those with no knowledge of how it all works (I'm thinking about the 401Kers -- the workers -- in U.S. corporations).

It's very obvious to me, as it must be to you as well.

THIS is what angers me to the point of fury.

The deliberate exploitation of everyday people who bought into the notions of fairy-like rosy-glasses-wearing blind FAITH. Faith in religiousity and unquestioned 'patriotism. And the politicians. LMAO!!

Such incredible, useless tripe in the cutthroat financial world.

Exploitive by those responsible. The Goldman Sachs. The Merrill Lynches. etc. The Charles Schwabs.

"Just relax. Buy more.'

As the ________ (insert your own vehemently profane adjective here) 'provided' 'investment banking services' bringing IPOs to market.

The 401K story is interesting in itself as a useful creation by the brokerages and corporations.
