Quote:Federal regulators are proposing tighter oversight of so called "dark pools" trading systems?
I agree entirely Jan. The entire off-market system is effectively a two-tier trading system that secretly benefits large institutional investors and bankers and should be banned outright -- and those engaging in it prosecuted under criminal law.
Quote:Speaking to an audience at St Paul's Cathedral in London about morality in the marketplace last night, Griffiths said the British public should "tolerate the inequality as a way to achieve greater prosperity for all".
Quite incredible but it reflects clearly the deep thinking of bankers and the elite --- they can engage in any manipulations they desire (legal or otherwise) and be immensely rewarded for it, whereas the governed must buckle down to foot their bill and, heaven forbid, not make an utterance about the inequality of it.
Forelock tugging will be the sanctioned activity of future generations.
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
