Quote from gms:
Isn't it incredible how these things routinely go on, nothing is done about it. Good excuses are given, and there ain't squat you can do about. Go ahead, I dare you. Call the WSJ and the Times, see if they're interested in this behind the scenes chicanery that is unscruposuly taking money from innocent traders and investors. They don't care. But if Martha wants to sell her stock 'cause she heard or was told what's his name was selling his, my oh my, look out, guns come out a-blazin' and we're gonna shoot her out of the sky. Why do you think that is?
That's because the real rule of what makes the world turn is: Set yourself up over the less powerful or those with no power, make it look like you're doing something on behalf of the public's good to placify them and court public favor, with the sole dual intent in so doing to remain powerful and pick their pockets. Obviously, Martha's lower in the heirarchy than the specialists' arrangements.
