ISH, The futures thing I know about. I worked as a trainee in a brokerage house and one summer i worked on the floor of one of the commodity exchanges. Trades were routinely create to move money. For instance a rich hollywood type need a tax loss so after the fact they would get the losing end of the trade while some pol got a campaign contribution. Thats what happened with hillary. Only defense i could make for her is that it was widespread and thats why few talk about her claim of a 100k profit on a first time commodity trade. Easier to hit the lottery imo. mike
