We just "think" we win battles but these Market Participant types always have and always will take their cut off the top.

They truly believe that they should be allowed to run things as they see fit because they know more than anyone else and that without their control (legal or not) there would be no world leading market in the US. When I think about the way illegal activity of all kinds attracts cash like a magnet... I am not at all certain that they're wrong.

History always repeats, greed always becomes corruption, then the corruption is exposed, then the public withdraws its capital, then change happens. It's an endless cycle.

The market crash of 1929 gave birth to the SEC. The SEC`s sole purpose is to maintain the public's confidence in the stock market. Because without the puplic's confidence there is no stock market.

The crash of 2000 was and continues to weaken the public's confidence in the stock market. Just tell the public that the stock they just bought and paid for was never delivered, might not ever be deliverd and there will be change just as there was in 1934. The SEC has no choice. IMO.

Mutual funds, financial advisors, whole life policy's, these are the stock markets life blood. They HAVE to have the publics confidence in order to sell the public on them.

The broker/dealers will lose this fight against transperancy. IMO.
