Ike, I haven't seen the movie yet sounds funny. It reminds me that I was cold called by a broker at a now defunct bucket shop I told him that he was working at a bucket shop and referred him to an article in Forbes detailing its activities. This same broker later called me from a " legit" second tier Wall St firm what a riot. The fact that the guy worked for a bucket shop demonstrated his ignorance and/or lack of ethics and now i am supposed to trust him. major HO HO HO . On both calles we had a polite civil discussion but i made it clear that my trust level for brokers was about the same as having a pedophile babysit! I learned that lesson once. I was a chump but it spurred me to educate myself. Many new era believers may think that I still am a chump -g- IMO the tactics of many so called legit brokers are just watered down bucket shop tactics that work within the limits of the law as long as you are part of the Wall St establishment. mike
