>>Prof. Siegel made an irresponsible comment in my opinion. He said the retail investor is fully to be blamed for being greedy and gullible.<<

I agree with Professor Siegel. As the great W.C. Fields said, "You can't cheat an honest man." W.C. Fields, who came from a poor family and grew up on the streets of Philadelphia, had a long "career" as a card shark, pool hustler, and con man before he went on stage.
