The writer of this article is a disgrace.
When government sets forth laws that attack free market principles and create an environment whereas it is obvious that investors are being robbed by political activists with the help of Congress it is then a disgrace to blame those who simply are trying to use the best possible stradegy legally to protect their investments as being the cause of the problem.
The author of the article claims to be a conservative but comes off as either a liar or as extrmemly ignorant.
Businesses can hardly commit fraud for long in a free market. To truly rob people, you must use force - the gun, if you will. Government is the gun. Unscrupulous men are always drawn to illicit power.
So we have a government of unscrupulous men being bought by unscrupulous men in business. We must disarm our government, then businessmen will have to go back to being honest to get ahead.
Hmm, selling investments, then buying investments with the proposition that the investment they just sold will decline in value, and being right, is not fraud?
What universe do you live in>?
