Maybe the difference between us, is that your standard of "moral ethical behavior" is stricter than mine :) Obviously one of the main ways to make an above market return in the financial markets is to buy stuff that is undervalued and sell stuff that is overvalued.... and some people may see this as "ripping-off" the people you buy and sell from, which in a sense it is, but there is no extortion. The other way, is to take on more risk than others, whether from say buying high beta stocks or selling options. I can't really think of any other ways if you are only involved as an investor/trader. Lots of people think short-selling is unethical, some might think that making money from capital gains is unethical. Some people probably thought that the kind of tax returns I turned in Australia and earlier in the US (paid no US tax in 1995-6) and my last tax return in Aus halved my taxable income from the topline figure are unethical. My friend who worked in the finance ministry there was shocked and said he would never dare try that. But they were all legal allowed tricks. Some people think inheriting money is unethical too. I haven't done much of that yet.

shades (& Jim) OK, here we go. Best cracked conch is at a place called Schooners in Jupiter. If you're going north on 95, get off at Indiantown Rd. exit. Head east across the intracoastal bring to the intersection of US1. Take a left on US1 (north) about a mile is the US1 intracoastal bridge. At the intersection just before the bridge take a right (A1A). Schooners is about a third of a mile on the left. It used to be an Amoco station. They converted it so it has a large outside eating area. (You know, besides being fresh, the batter is the secret to good cracked conch). I haven't had any other meals there so can't vouch for the rest of the fare. Second place for good seafood (in Jupiter) is the Food Shack. Again, crossing the Indiantown Rd bridge, go straight through the US1 intersection. There is a big strip mall on the right. The Food Shack is in that mall in the SE corner (used to be a surf shop next to it). When its available, the Hog Snapper is the best. Now let me add, I haven't been to FL in 2 years, so if the cooks have changed, so might the food. However, my daughter says things are the same. Enjoy, Bill
