People buy stocks because everybody else is buying them, they helped to fan the flames even though they knew most of what they were saying wasn't true. Most of the people that got sucked into the bubble were novices who had no knowledge of wall streets games.

We really need some political reform in this country. Common people essentially don't have representation in the govt anymore.

The 96 year-old judge is a wise man. Morons will never accept the fact that there is no free lunch. How many morons that made money like bandits in the 90's are coming forward to help out the brokerages in their time of need??? ZERO. Win some, lose some...

I guess if the auto companies say their autos might burn up, roll over, or that you might get ejected somehow and killed means when it happens, they're off the hook. Could have saved Firestone much dough they just said their tires might shred on you.

BTW, was it really public knowledge, even here, that brokerages were "buying" recommendations from independent firms?
