<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fatima, post: 1353072, member: 22143&quot;]Buying equities in publicly held firms is not an antiquated view of investment.&nbsp; But such a thing absolutely requires that faith is established and maintained in said markets by rules and regulations that insure everyone gets a fair chance and that those in a position of power don&#039;t use that power for unfair gain.&nbsp; Destroy that faith and all bets are off.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>When the CEO of a several hundred year old brokerage house, one with impeccable credentials, one that had the full trust of the Federal Reserve, can bet customer&#039;s money, loose it, and not face any repercussions, then this is a huge issue.&nbsp; They broke the law.&nbsp; Where are the regulators?&nbsp; &nbsp; Nobody can now know that their own brokerage house is not up to the same tricks.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyone, who does their own research as you advised further back simply can&#039;t ignore this.&nbsp; If they do,&nbsp; either they haven&#039;t done that research, or they won&#039;t go places that contradict their view no matter what their eyes tell them.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Your personal anecdotes are irrelevant to this argument.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
