CBS news says most insider trading is not brokers fault
it's the fault of relatives of the brokers pressuring the broker to give up insider information. So you see, brokers are clean like snow and babies bottoms.

Did we need more proof that corporations & the MSM are having oral sex.

7. Just because the corporations AND the MSM are both saying ...
... "Fuck you!" to the people of this country doesn't really qualify as oral sex.

9. So let me get this correct...
Edited on Fri Oct-14-11 01:51 PM by mazzarro
Brokers' relatives put pressure on the brokers; and the brokers knowing fully well that they are doing something wrong, succumb to the pressure and divulge information they are supposedly not allowed to make public for the benefit of the brokers' relatives - and possibly the benefit of the brokers in some cases. And we are supposed to accept the explanation that it is not the fault of brokers?

Hmmmmmmm! I am not sure I get! CBS, please help me out with further explanation.

15. Hope they gave Congress proper credit - must be nice to know how a vote
is going to turn out and be able to make some money off it in advance. There's no statistical way so many in Congress can enrich themselves at such a higher than market return consistently.

I don't put money into the Wall St casino - but someone could tempt me if they did a mutual fund that bought and sold the way our "reps" do - they could call it the Congressional 535 Fund
