Does anybody remember when they arrested the kid about ten or fifteen years ago for doing a pump and dump on the internet? He had his teachers invested and everything. He was like"_I'm not doing anything the brokerage firms don't do"
There's no security in securities, lol. No matter the size, it can and will happen -- Enron and Tyco, these were big names.
I agree d08, ...You're right...there is no security in securities... (there's potential danger at every corner of the marketplace.) But it's still safer to walk down Park Avenue, as opposed to a street in Brooklyn. One should trade options...therefore, you have...options.
