I'm glad you didn't take offense. I tend to be just a wee nutso about correct facts.

What EVERYONE needs to remember, is that in order to do business (though Bacanovic's little assistant did NOT have, when he sold her ImClone stocks; which IS a felony )RRs have to pass a VERY strenuous test. Martha couldn't get hired,on Wall Street, to save her life, by a reputable firm. SHE WORKED FOR A BUCKET SHOP/BOILER ROOM OPPERATION !

And whilst she was involved in insider trading, obstruction of justice,tampering with evidence and lying to the SEC, the FBI, the DOJ, and a Congressional Committee, she was ON THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NYSE ! Why is THAT important? Because the BoD of the NYSE is in charge of overseeing that laws, rules, and regulations Are followed by the members of the NYSE!

"...glad you didn't take offense."

I'm a stickler for facts, just like you, np. I'm always grateful for correction. I'd rather live with a little embarassment and just 'fess up, than continue spouting faulty information. I cringe when contemplating how many more knowledgable people have simply written me off without bothering to offer correction. Thanks again!

"SHE WORKED FOR A BUCKET SHOP/BOILER ROOM OPPERATION!"

Oh, man, this is getting good. Not challenging you or anything (far from it), but if you come across links/sources for this sort of thing, would you lob them my way? I know a couple of books and a slew of articles have been written on MS, but I haven't read much of it. I read somewhere that she started a lawsuit against one of the major tabs for a similarly unflattering portrayal but then abruptly dropped the matter. Hmmm...
