"Honesty & Integrity have no place in the business of stocks"
Here we completely disagree. In fact, such a sentiment is nauseating to me.
The "numbers" you refer to in the body of your quote are peoples money. The money they will need to feed and clothe their families and etc.
It has been said, and pretty well demonstrated in history, that when societies reach such a level of mentality, they crumble under the weight of their own degeneration.
I'm sorry, but I don't see any area of life that isn't cheapened and degenerated by the absence of integrity, including the desimination of information about, and trading of, stocks, IMHO.
