Sure, Wall Street can legally steal, but it's the only IPO game in town. <G> Receiving stock for agreeing to purchase more shares in the future used to be called pre-arranged trading and was highly illegal. The rule now is "a new sucker is born every minute." Highly trained SEC regulators? When did that happen? The ones I dealt with were dumber than red brick fences. Maybe they just sent the dumb ones to me because they knew I wasn't doing anything illegal. <G>

This is the biggest bunch of BS. Similar to lauding the free market system in allocating health care costs while conveniently omitting the fact that congress passed legislation making it impossible to sue HMOs so they have no need to carry malpractice insurance of any kind but have no disincentive to deny proper medical care. Of course congress has their own unique health care system. Just makes me want to puke. Either you're an advocate of the free markets or youre just a f***** hypocrite. The first thing we should do is take away all special priveledges from members of congress.
