Fred, I believe Rand Paul either is already or will end up in the pockets of big business interests. The common Joe investors only chance of getting a fair shake in the world of investing with the big boys is the influence of a handful of regulators or lawmakers such as Elizabeth Warren.
I suspect that suggestion will bring some laughs from some of those on this board, but what we do know is that those lawmakers in the past who have drank the big corporation coolaid have done nothing for smaller investors. The vast vast majority of them have succumbed to cash hidden in envelopes passed in the night.
Those who run corporations fear only one thing - prison time. And with the exception I believe of one low level stooge, no one served time for the financial collapse that was fraught with fraud by the biggest of the big corporations.
Sorry to get on my high horse, but investors, and particularly smaller investors, have the odds against them in the world of investing.
