Oh.... bwolinsky, in another thread, you said "Anyway, I'm not a trader, but an RIA rep and the best trading strategist in this country."... Also, you are the first person I've ever known to actually say he's a CFA candidate as some sort of mark for ethics. Truely greaseball behavior - fitting for an RIA. Go sell some mutual funds.
Why just "get even"??? Bust them in the balls! Buy a car with cash? No, buy it with all debt, drive it 2-3 years and give it back after not paying 1 cent in payments. Don't use credit cards? I say rack up $100-200K of CC debt & then tell them to fuck off! That's how you get even with these crooked fuckers. Save 40% for a down payment? That's not possible for most. You get taxed to your eyeballs & by the time you save your 40%, your dollar won't even buy 1/2 a roll of toilet paper!
On top of that, Wall street is doing business with governments, which guarantee its become well oiled money machine.
