That's just wrong[/QUOTE]

you are right-- we have a problem when "virtual" trading exceeds real trading-- did we not just do something like that with mortgage debt and engineered financial produts-- that worked so well did it not?

The issues that everyone is dancing around are the legality or morality of someone gaming the markets, getting free access to trading data, the giving and paying of kick backs and rebates, rules should be applied across all participants in the markets-- not giving a chosen few a free pass, some pigs are NOT more equal than others.

We need transparent markets and visable markets, not black holes and back rooms
