re: Victim-Blamer journalists :) As a practising psychotherapist I found it quite unsurprising that TheStreetcom., whose own Mr. Cramer according to recent accounts may have good reasons for wishing to discredit expoited investors/traders, should choose to publish a pseudo-psychological schlock piece suggesting that those calling attention to sleaze are really personality-disordered whiners. Less surprising still, perhaps, is the fact that our own LPS5 apparently considers this silly bit of psychobabble to be incisive psycho-financial journalism. If this is the best they can come up with, the boyz on the Street are going to scramble mode earlier in the game than i would have suspected. C'mon LP, this is lame!

Let me make one distinction between the person who is truly victimized and the one who only imagines he is, so as not to have to assume responsibility for his or her own actions. The investors mentioned in last week's column, for example, who lost their money through the dishonest and corrupt practices of their broker, may have been naive, but they were also victimized.
