Of course they are. A guy named Aguirre has the SEC tied up in a knot. Now the press is labeling him as complainer because he filed an age discrimination suit. He's a nut, because his brother, a City Attorney for San Diego did something or other showing a Liberal bent..... this has been going on for as long as I remember. And what they always do is nail a little guy someplace and say, "see, we're on it."
Check Friday afternoon's trading vs. Saturday's Barron's. I haven't in years, but I know the answer.
PS, thought the same thing as you and just shrugged.
