Hi Deathman,

I can't speculate on that, from what I know, with the money they make, I suspect the answer is yes. It doesn't make these guys any more honourable than the person that young people go to to get drugs, "because it's the only game in town". Most of the "biggies" are in these Jr markets anyway, so I believe the argument is not applicable.

Regardless of who has a monopoly, it doesn't make it right. I agree that one doesn't have to deal with them, I got dragged in and it is my intention to get the hell out and stay the hell out. The timing of course is mine, I just came in at a bad time. I do know this however, the only people making money are;

a. the promoters
b. the insiders
c. and the brokerages (bigtime)
d. the occasional lucky bastard that get's the timing right

the people who pay for this are;

a. THE REST OF US

So I really don't have any love for these so called "facilitators" that facilitate the separation from a person and their money. However we are responsible for our own financial fate and they thrive quite easily, as best described in an old saying "a fool is soon parted from their money"

PS. I forgot to ask a couple of questions; have you done so well financially that you value the opportunity they provide?, or have you lost on occasion due to their manipulations?
