Yes, Daniel. . . But I see it another way. . . . Organized criminals walked away from ownership of Las Vegas casinos in the late seventies in order to infiltrate the stock exchanges and brokerage houses. Atlantic City is primarily built by corporations [both public and private]. . .and notice that they are not SUPER money making machines anymore. . . but just regular businesses. Remember. . .in Vegas it was EASY for Feds to 'follow the money'. . .but on Wall Street. . .we know that there are hundreds of ways of making money and not have a single dollar change hands. . . .everything is on paper. . . and with offshore accounts, MMs in your pocket and your very own brokerage house. . . well. . .you can imagine how happy these criminal families are with their decision to abandon the skimming off of gambling revs. . . for the "sure thing" trading the stock market affords them. And the biggest difference is the respect they "earn" by becoming Wall Street financial tycoons. . . and when they talk. . . people listen. <stepping off cynical soapbox> Yes, Daniel. . . I do see your point about gambling vs. daytrading. I have been laughing too, at the glorification of gaming that CNBC is doing on the heels of shaking their fingers at daytraders and other online investors every single day. Quite hypocritical.
