<What do you fear...?> Nothing. I can cut through the baloney misinterpreted facts you guys post. <Are you broker-phobic? > You bet. Over time I've discussed investments with many a broker. Their overall knowledge is not at all impressive. In the old days, they used to be useful for keying in trades. But seems the individual investor can just do that themsleves. And a lot cheaper. Are you a broker? Do you have just a little too much free time on your hands? Business down? Pressure on your ripoff commission structure? Got to find a new way to get by? <Ain't it so that "professional brokers" are far more regulated > Correct. Geeee I wonder why?
