You know, I’d tend to agree with you on that, but recently I’ve come to see that the vast majority of people just take what they hear as fact and don’t really think to much about it.

What that means is that if you have billions of dollars of capital at your disposal and tens or more of billions of dollars of future earnings at stake it’s pretty cost effective to manipulate those people who I mentioned in the first paragraph of my post.

Depressing, but unfortunately true as best I can tell
