Re: Short term speculation is a board game (none / 0)

I am an investor, so I have not been damaged by the manipulation.

Aren't you pissed off by watching Cramer on the You tube clip. I am.

Personally it does not undermine my confidence in the markets--but i just don't like the image it gives to others. It's a market confidence thing , isn't it.?

only at how matter of fact he is (none / 0)

about it. I worked on Wall Street in the commods area which makes equity trading look like a tea party.

Google Vitol, Trafigura, Marc Rich, Clarendon, Vanol and see the kind of crap these people are accused of around the world. These were my counterparties.
