Quote from optional:
The real issue is does any firm have a moral or ethical obligation to tell the whole story, or is their job only to open up a desk and let the trader have at it?
Or, is the real issue that individuals take responsibility for their own decisions and actions. We don't need individuals like you to protect us from ourselves.
This issue of moral or ethical obligation is up to the business owner. If enough responsible individuals decide someone's business is does not meet their moral and ethical guidelines, they will no longer patronize that business. If enough people don't patronize that business it will fail.
The Enron debacle was a good example. A bunch of greedy corporate officers deceived and stole from their employees and investors. Who is responsible for this?
Granted, it's not the honest employees or investors. But it was their responsibility to make sure that they didn't have all their money invested in the company's stock. It is also their responsibility to know that no job is secure and that one should always be preparing themselves for the next opportunity should they lose their jobs.
You can create all the rules and regulations you want to try to stop this but all that does is inhibit individuals from becoming entrepreneurs.
If Don thinks a trading career is better than a college education, so be it. It's not his responsibility to decide what to do with one's life. If one is foolish enough to decide not to pursue a college degree because of Don's offer, so be it. That is THEIR choice, their decision and their responsibility.
This is how one learns about life.
America is headed in the wrong direction. We are no longer responsible for what we eat, drink, smoke, what crime we commit.
My father instilled in me that we must always take responsibility for our decisions and actions.
I'm curious Optional 777, what do we need to protect you from?
