curiously uncomprehending No, I fully comprehend the reasons for which posters on a trading- and investment-focused message board might cry for blood after two years of downtrending markets and ill-conceived regulatory initiatives (decimalization et al), LOL. You, in what seems to be mounting frustration, seem to be equating philosophical disagreement and dissatisfaction with weak, unverified assertions to manufactured resistance. I think the fact that there's a settlement at work - and moving slowly, at that - bears the greatest proof ("proof") that the situation is not nearly so cut-and-dried as many of you are convinced that it is. pseudo-defenses for research/investment banking incest LOL. And yet, Kymar, what crime is committed in expressing a different personal opinion than that expressed in the context of discharging duties on behalf of ones' company of employ? your outlook would be substantially affected by the revelations contained in the WSJ article There, you're right - my outlook hasn't been substantially changed. I read the article last night and, several paragraphs in came across the phrase "conflicts of interest" - that's all I needed to read. See ya. why, in your view, the particulars would not be as much covered by "caveat emptor" Correct. Having read the article now, those particulars are, in my opinion, completely covered under the caveat emptor clause - and would be even without the presence of disclosure wording. As for "message board posters," I'll readily agree that there are few who deserve to be taken seriously - ever fewer, it sometimes seems. Like this explosion of genius? Message 17425569
