Mike, I disagree with one point. There's been a TON of deception in the form of stock options, merger accounting, big bath charges, selling equity investments, questionable inflation and economic data coming out of Washington, and the various misleading spins of the historical record and current environment by a few of the main Wall St. "rape and pillage show" strategists. It's my view that the public shouldn't be held totally responsible for "being taken" by Wall St and corporate America. There are two sides to every transaction and a balanced and accurate view of the facts is necessary in order for the public to not get caught up in the Ponzi scheme. Not everyone is equipped equally, but they should all at least be dealing with honest views and not spin, hype, or outright lies. Balance has been limited to a handful of discredited bears that have long since been put out to pasture. Even Warren Buffett has been trashed on a regular basis for providing a balanced view. IT IS A PONZI SCHEME and WALL ST and CORPORATE AMERICA ARE RUNNING IT. THE MIDDLE CLASS IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PYRAMID. THEY JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET! Wayne
