Hey Crou, I got 2 inutes also.

"1) Why do large wall-street houses pay exhorbitant amounts of money to analysts so that they give their opinion for free to the public? Are they a charity or is it manipulation?"

I agree with Crou here on this one somewhat, much "research" is published to push sales of whatever.

"2) Why does wall-street allow shorting (legal or naked does not matter). Is it really for "liquidity and efficiency" or is it for manipulation?"

Strongly dsagree. Shorting is also the most effective counter to long side manipulation and/or pumping. It's not really liquidity, but establishing more of a valid market (when things arn't being gimmie'd by funds shorting into pipes, etc.).

"3) Why does the financial media (including CNBC, Forbes, Wall street joornal, reuters, and all the rest...) put such a concerted spin in reporting about stocks and companies, and why is the spin always identical for all the media? Is it to inform the public or is it because they get dictated to them by the crooked hedgies?"

How about my assumption: the media just plain sucks?
