Both of us, and it's typical with online "debate," generalize. I don't intend to say all hedge funds are scams. By highlighting hedge fund scams, that doesn't mean I believe that all hedge funds are scams.

Those on the seeming other side of the debate highlight, e.g., penny stock scam, with the inference that all penny stocks are scams.

My point all along is that there is plenty of scamming all around. I've seen many posts claiming that shorts rarely if ever are involved with manipulation, a generalization that I find totally absurd.

What I'm advocating is a totally revamped system that makes sense, from registration to regulation, to access and use of information, to the basic ways that markets are made. This would eliminate and make moot most of our debate, as well as the finger pointing that basically says, "our scam ain't so bad, concentrate on all these other scams."
