Hank, I bailed out of SPEH last week. Will re-enter when this crazy bull market weakens.

I think it is about time that investors work together to pass legislation which makes it a serious federal crime for Market Makers to Jump the price of a stock up or down in order to steal money from small investors. A good solution would be to eliminate the Market Makers and have the computer match buyers and sellers. I believe the founder of Datek is trying to promote such a system. We live in the age of computers and it is absurd that we are still letting - even paying Market Makers and Specialists to steal our money! I seriously doubt that the big jump AMZN took from 77 to 88 was due to real market demand. If it was not due to market demand then it seems a crime was committed!
