OT -- Shadow, in looking at your holdings you must be an astute investor, so in the "long run" I don't think you will need any "spells, incantations or voodoo" (although you did make me chuckle).

All the best, always,

Regulation by whom? Our honest and well intentioned Federal Government that messes up everything they touch? Like the wonderful investment that Social Security is?

This is like term limits. Our mighty Fed, please save us from ourselves.

This is based on the ridiculous assumption that we're too stupid to make our own investment decisions but smart enough to elect someone to appoint someone to hire someone to do it for us.

Re further regulation, the stock markets are basically auctions.

Would you call for regulation of how high someone can bid at auction for a Monet, or a Picasso?
