Right, I certainly do not favor greater Governmental control. As usual
enforcement of regulations already on the books would help a lot. The
problem as I see it is not giving people the right education before hand.
When you say that if you have what it takes to trade you can be rich, it's
the truth but not the whole picture. If I said, give me 100 dollars and I
put your bill under one of ten identical cups (without your seeing which
one) and then told you that I'd double your money if you can find it, but if
you miss I get your $100 would you do it? You shouldn't because I have 9
times the odds that you have of winning. So if they put it in the right
perspective and have trading so demonstrated so that people get a concrete
picture of what they are really doing, then I'd say let people suit
themselves.
