I agree with the general gist of most of your posts, and I have been saying the same on this board for several years. However, I don't agree about "the kid" (assuming you are referring to the high schooler busted last year for pumping & dumping on chat boards. You are absolutely right that the SEC should not be going after small fish like this and ignoring the big fish like Wall Street brokerage houses. However, to talk about pardoning this kid is ludicrous. He is an amoral slimeball, who was basically trying to defraud people out of their money. He showed no remorse about his crime. In fact, he was proud of it. Furthermore, he broke the law. He most certainly deserved to be punished. Tom

I need to make an amendment to my earlier post: I'd be remiss in my previous post if I didn't also mention Ravi Suria and Holly Becker...like Faye Landis, they too nailed the AMZN scam and made their followers a ton of money. Ravi Suria is one guy I would LOVE to see on CNBC...and not one of these 90 second blurbs...get him on for 5-10 minutes and let him talk about the stuff he's seeing. The guy had the balls to say Emperor Bezos had no clothes, and probably could make viewers a lot of money with his salient thoughts. He sure as hell has a lot more credibility than Eric Gustafson, who seems to be ushered onto CNBC on a daily basis--I still remember Gustafson whining about the original CSCO article in Barrons, calling it "shoddy journalism." Yeah, that's when CSCO was at $60+...Gustafson said he was buying more at the time...so tell me, who had the shoddy journalism, Barrons or CNBC airing Gustafson? Bottom line: give the losers a boot and let's hear from the people who nailed the market in the last 6 months.
