Hard to measure these days what is illegal , unethical, immoral etc. etc. in this bastion of fraud and corruption that we call the U.S. economy. Surely the past and present practice of naked shorting under regulation "SHOW" points to that. If there is an SEC, then it's purpose is selfserving, deflectionary and to be unaccountable. Same as fannie mae and freddie mac. Taking a vow of poverty is starting to look like sound advice.
