The word "remorse" would apply to someone whose actions made them feel guilty. The word "remorseless" can only apply to insiders, government officials, tv reporters, analysts, brokerage firms, banks -- everyone who has worked in concert to cheat and steal from the average investor. I think the word you were looking for to describe my post was non-sympathetic. That is, no sympathy for all the lies, corruption, manipulation, insider trading, pac favors, TV-sponsored cheerleading, robbery. Most people are aware of all of this, yet the lure of the dollar is greater. Some will be innocent, but most will reap what they have sown.

I remain,

p.s. I also feel no sympathy for the fellow who kills another because he was a "victim" of his environment. Everyone has their albatross. Two wrongs do not make a right. The victim-dominated society we now live in is responsible for many of the worst things happening today. When this market crashes and burns, watch the victims begin to sue. That is why it will happen. Because Americans have condoned or at least ignored terribly wrong behavior for the past 10 years only because they were making money. Watch how quickly they become "righteous" when the money disappears. All societies at this point eventually crumble. Then, the best of them arise and rebuild, or the worst take over, and they don't survive.
