I say BS! BankAmerica screwed everyone they could, including us. Sold one of our two "connected "loans we were advised to do in a re-fi, which prohibited us from doing another re-fi for over ten years! Hardly any pay down on principle over that time. Eff BankAmerica as hard as I can. AND then they want to charge you to cash a check drawn on their accounts if you don't have an account.... (many RI based banks do this in Mass. Eff them too)

The best thing that could come out of all this is to equal out the gross inequity of the wealth distribution in this country.... Going to be a hell of a new tax code coming to pay for all this. I hope the heavy load hits the upper class and one percenters HARD! There is not one of the wealthy that didn't get there without #^&#^&#^&#^&ing someone and ruining the life and dreams of others. Get ready for a 70% tax rate and hyper inflation. |

Ross that’s to real and to reasonable for this group, I agree with your post and those senators profiting on non public information is basically inside trading. They really need to make stock trading for senators and congressman illegal, as they are constantly getting non public intel that can and does impact the market.

Jim, I started with Merrill Lynch in 1980 and was in the business through 1999. I can categorically state that those that got ahead got there at the expense of others. As did the clients they served and skimmed off of. I was there. Saw it. Old boy network became musical chairs. Survival at all costs. Saw it. Lived it. I was a victim. I was expensed so that another could get himself ahead. Got my legs cut out at my weakest point during a divorce and could not recover. I am not that guy that could live that life and sleep at night anyway  |

i didn’t say that zero rich people
got rich by hurting others. of course there are scumbags out there, i never said otherwise.
You said every rich person got there by hurting others. that’s laughably false. Plenty of wealthy people are decent people. Not all. But more than zero, a lot
more.

He knows that statement was born from scorn. A lot of passion but a lot of inaccuracies.

Chris, you know from where I am coming. Of course not zero. There is no absolute to be defended here. But there is about to be another round of musical chairs with layoffs coming in the financial sector. Many are about to have their outlook and self worth changed dramatically. They will be joining the eye doctors signing up for unemployment benefits, an exercise they could not have ever thought they would be doing themselves. Then we will see how they feel about the CEOs of their industry "earning" their multi million salaries, raises and stock options. I suspect they will feel some of the passion too. |

Ross, you didn’t have to be Kreskin to see this scourge was coming. Being proactive with the market is the first response for some.
