Grace, I'm glad you commented, but I'm not aware of what you have said about it in the past. Are you denying everything that Richard Ney ever said? Are you denying that Market Makers occassionally manipulate or break rules and that specialists manipulate rather regularly? Are you saying that analysts don't unduly influence a stock's performance for the gain of the firm's clients? Are you saying that Jim Cramer didn't go on CNBC sometime back and issue "Strong Buys" on stocks that he quickly liquidated into the resultant buying? Why do 9 of 10 people who buy puts and call otpions lose some or all their money? Doesn't this defy the odds? Although it is better now with Reg. FD, why did so many formerly buy or sell stocks an hour or two before news was released to the rest of the public? I could go on and on. As I said before, if ALL risks of the market were explained to everyone before they invested, then I would say, "Fine, let the buyer beware." Heck, the rules and risks are clearly spelled out when you buy a CD or read an IPO Prospectus?
