You're so right, and I cannot believe so many on this board are throwing around socialist phraseology like "the rights of the working class" and "government regulation to enforce prosperity!!"

What we need is a way to encourage companies to return to private financing instead of prostituing themselves to short term investors who have no knowlege or interest whatsoever of the companies they invest in.
