I have to disagree wholeheartedly that us knowing it makes it old news. Those statistics are not widespread and no one in the news is discussing anything like that...they're about 3 steps behind that report in the widely available public media. That is why people like Angelo Mozilo can go on Mad Money when they should instead be at Senate Hearings and tout their stock and not get asked any questions...amazing. It's your lax attitude that allows guys like that to be comfortable. Trading is not so fun to me...I prefer the buy and hold on small caps that has made me hundreds of percent gains...it's easier and I sleep well. My obsession with this issue is more on a human interest level than making money...although I intend to make a lot of money from it as well. I'm not sure you read that paper...if not, it's your loss. Good luck.
