Who are these bogeymen in suits that commandeer people’s money and get paid 500k in bonuses?
Are you getting confused with the likes of Kozlowski, Skilling, Rigas, Ebbers etc.
Believe it or not the vast majority of guys and gals who work in the markets are remarkably similar to the pilots I now fly with. They all enjoy a cold one after a long days work; they are for the most part ethical and professional; they are well educated and at the end of the day they want to take home a piece of the pie so that their kids get a step up on life. Many of them, including myself , also serve(d) in the reserves. Are there exceptions? Yes, of course, just like we have them in our ranks or in any walk of life. But don’t let the headlines dictate your opinion on the people who work in the markets (I have dropped ‘the street’ for sensitivity purposes).
Fareview, good point. I know the majority of any group is usually good, hard working people. I'll limit my rants to the bad apples and the obvious cases of "bad-behavior." As I'm not a lefty commie anti-capatilist, I apologize for my previous sarcasm and if I offended anyone who works hard on wall street! Have a Merry Christmas!
