Curious as to why you would think any hedge funds guys would be LESS intolerant to the ignorant, piker, trading class that makes up most of the retail crowd?

children fresh out of high school (or ones still in h.s. as evidenced by the recent fit thrown byanother 18 y.o. option cowboy) shouldn't play with the adults. That's why we have E(asy)Trade.
