Just look at the gains and top holdings of Fidelity Select Brokerage to tell you who's doing the plate cleaning. For you value investors, good small-to-midcaps in the plate cleaning business are JEF, ITGI, BHIKF, BARZ, DLJ, BSC. Some of the biggies are the Fido Brokerage list. If you look carefully at the bank merger mania you'll find that the banks either own brokerages, are marrying a brokerage, or are marrying a bank-brokerage firm. No international laws govern the financial borg. Hyperinflation, here we come! Wipe out those debts with hyperinflation!

Paul: Thanks for the url..I read the whole thing..in one way it's nice to know at least some people see the danger of it, on the other it don't appear to offer any solutions, instead it suggest that we are powerless to change it..which is likely true until after it wrecks. Like you can't get the FAA to move until after a plane crashes and people are killed. It will take some sort of disaster before the SEC makes need changes in the way the market works. The more recent change in the circuit breakers was like that guy discribe..a move away from regulation and rules and towards a pure free for all anarchy with no rules until we all become subservent to a small group of people running the winner out of the super computers.
