Hi MajorD,
Guess I just don't like being a "sheeple".
Called the SEC today, and gave them a piece of my mind (not that it did any good, but made me feel better AND I have a copy of the call).
The guy on the other end did not have any answers and was quite sheepish after I proceeded to tell him a few "home truths" (Did I really ask him who ultimately pays his remuneration?).
Good Luck to all!
