Like I said it's not pretty and it sure aint perfect but AP came mighty damn close imo,these brokerages well I guess when you can throw 10 mill at it you can do an o.j. and hang with your buddies at the golf coarse all day.I'm sure all concerned are guilty of something but I think AP should be put on a pedistal rather than drug through the dirt.I'd like to have an AP statue on my desk and a mer bull on my comode.
