>>A broker who is not just an order taker has a first obligation to "know your customer" and to satisfy certain "suitability" requirements. This is a very gray area, especially for EMLX Friday, but if the broker "should have known" that something was amiss, he might have (shared) responsibility for having not spoken up or intervened, IMO. << I guess if one had a descretionary account, or a broker called a client and said to "sell," the argument definitely has merit. But if it's us online do-it-yourselfers, then one is stuck.
