Please refrain from political opinions on this list (As many "liberals" would want because I am an "undesirable". Old, white, educated, and ill.). You obviously don't know anything about what 'liberal's' stand for. I could say more but will hold my tongue and try to keep this civil. Jon

You don't like the stock market being just another casino? How "unAmerican"! I totally agree. But "greed rules". There is no more ethics in business other than "maximize profit". Workers don't matter. Quality doesn't matter. As as long as you can con them, the consumer (not to be considered a human being) doesn't matter. What matters is profit. Period. Unless you're in government, where the bureaucracy and politicians are what matters. People are just a nuisance. And if you think things are bad now, just wait. My "retirement" plan is simply to die. As many "liberals" would want because I am an "undesirable". Old, white, educated, and ill. But I'm really off-topic. As is this entire thread now. I'm sure somebody will become incensed with me. Too bad. On Tue, 2010-12-28 at 17:14 -0600, Mike Schwab wrote: > I would like to see the day traders and market timers be put out of > business.
