<No one should begrudge Meeker, Blodgett, Noto, Goldman Sachs, etc. for what they did--we're all out to make money, right?> So is that what it has all come down to? We're all out to make money, so it is alright to basically lie and cheat as professionals as long as it is profitable? We're all out to make money, so it is alright to grossly take advantage of those who were less experienced in the market? That's real nice. Just great. What a wonderful world. Why bother to make an "honest" buck when you can scam, pump, dump, and in general take gross advantage of others through your status as a perceived expert and finance professional. Yes what a great concept. You just can't tell me all these professional touts on CNBS didn't knowingly scam others. And CNBS was a willing participant. Very wrong.
