Berney... I talked to a floor trader of the golden years....and he said they would be suspended back then for the things that go on today.... a member is conducting a poll on Clinton and I am going to send it to CNBC and CNN...because it should be just as valid as any of theirs that they do...LOLOLOL so be sure to check my profile and VOTE... maybe I should do a poll on whether a person believes that market is manipulated...hmmm..maybe this weekend...

Additionally, the NASD signed a consent decree with the Justice Department acknowledging, among other issues, that collusion existed among the major Market Makers to widen the spread between the bid and the ask. According to Arthur Levitt, the chairman of the SEC, the regulatory body, composed of the Market Makers "simply looked the other way." I've seen this stuff discussed in an academic journal.

Berney; I loved your post, and hope I'm not speaking out of turn or playing one up with it. RE> However, the sheep line up to get fleeced on a constant basis, and some will just not believe. I do agree with that, and have said in the past that the rich get richer and the poor poorer, and the poor often help to arrange it. -------------------- But in addition to that, in the type system we have the sheep don't have to line up, the way the TAX system works it rounds them up for fleecing, but the most of them don't really know how to look into it that far. ------------------------ Take teachers pensions, or whatever no matter how you spin if it came from tax money , then the tax payer got ripped off, and in a tax system every one pays, them with no money pay by doing with out or at best standing in a line till they drop dead. Any way this is one reason I'm so opposed to putting SS into the stock market, it will open up a door to endless corruption, and we already have enough of that. Jim
