Maurice - I wrote recently that speculators should be treated as heroes, not with the denigration they usually get as though they are some sort of leeches. Mahathir being one of the haters of Soros and co. That is because their business is about the most dangerous reducing volatility and profiting from it. Could you explain your rationale for that statement? To my knowledge most speculators (i.e. short time horizon investors) increase volatility. There are lots of examples of this, but the most recent is the complaints of many companies about the Nasdaq. When companies move from the Nasdaq to other exchanges their volatility decreases because there are many fewer small day traders. This is not to say that I disapprove of day traders - it is day traders who provide most of the liquidity in the market. But the market does not benefit from too many of them. All JMO. Clark
