Joe,
I was a broker in the early 70's. I left because i couldnt earn a living however i like to think i would have left anyway, after putting my uncle in a cattle tax shelter, only to have his deduction disallowed for the 100% loss he suffered because it was discovered that the cows had been poisoned and had not died a natural death. It's just not that different today, albeit more sophisticated. mike
