Sith has just commented with a generalization that anyone who trades pennies is a scammer. I don't see you objecting to that. Because he was simply turning your silly logic back on itself. You whine because I come up with terms that cutely describe Ah right, because what this discussion needed was more "cuteness". As opposed to say, "accuracy". I've never said that every hedge fund or that every MM is a scammer. And likewise none of us have never said that every hedge fund and every MM has is perfectly clean, your attempts to put those words in our mouths notwithstanding. So let's frame this debate without resorting to hyperbole for once, shall we? The stance of myself, and most of us on this board, is that current enforcement efforts, at least with respect to the areas of market makers and hedge funds, are generally doing their job and are able to keep up with things relatively well by handling offenses on an individual basis, and that improvements in enforcement would be more effectively directed towards areas such as penny stock promotion. Your stance is that there is a systemic problem in the areas of market making and hedge funds, that offenses in these areas are too widespread to be dealt with individually, and that the solution lies in changing the whole idea of what a market maker has the power to do, and similarly for a hedge fund. There, now was that so hard? Now I invite you continue this discussion in a constructive manner by describing specifically what kinds of wholesale changes in these areas you have in mind.
