With your arrival, I have to think that somewhere, a village is missing its' idiot. Show me where I posted, at any time that there is "no" manipulation on Wall Street. No such assertion was made, at any time. If I have an agenda, it is, as I previously stated, moderation and some sensibility. I do not seek to defend any particular firms, large or small, nor do I seek to malign the whole industry. Yes, wrongdoing occurs on Wall Street. Such firms that do so and are caught should, as well as their individual members who are a part of such acts, be punished. But no, manipulation does not "permeate" the market, and there are no grand conspiracies of any sort. In short, violators are the exception, and not the rule - violations are not, as you might have it, the primary and accepted way of conducting oneself. Nothing is "hunky-dory," nor is there a "scam-land." It is LG, in fact, who has changed his tune, from saying that manipulation was the major force in pricing securities to, just now, saying that the potential is always there. Hmmm. You, eichler, are the weakminded type you refer to. And no, I am not ahhaha. LPS5
