They "urged" us to convert our retirement funds to company stock with a great prospectus and reform plan, then announced the sale of the company AFTER they had dumped their shares. Stock went from $65 a share to 18 cents overnight.

I know a lot of people lost a lot more money than I did, and they all got the same buck and a quarter back. Why the hell do the big wigs keep getting away with this crap?

I'm definitely NOT for bigger, more invasive government. But I'd definitely support a government that protected the little guys from financial victiization.

p.s.: no, I won't say which company it was, because sure as I did, I'd get slapped with a defamation suit and lose ANOTHER 90 grand.
good post!i keep hearing we dont need the government in business, but until business gets some ethics we gotta do something
