If you mean that caveat emptor is the name of the game, and hold on to your wallet is the corollary, sure. To me, it's about as honest as dealing cocaine with the Medellin cartel. Nature redder of tooth and claw does not exist. If you lose, you lose. If you win, they kill you. Not my cup of tea.

I was listening at philsgang.com friday and he was talking about the specialists who keep the markets liquid while they make 35 million a year or more in thier personal accounts and the past few times the SEC wanted to come in and get some transparency and financial disclosures the "specialists" said no way. He said there was no school to go to for being a specialist - that it was passed down - huh? I have not taken the time to research "specialists" or thier system or how they help with liquidity at great personal profit - can you give some insight?
