Someone alert the mainstream financial media. For anyone truly interested in the greed-fueled scandal of what the Investment Company Institute [ICI] is up to behind closed doors in Washington, check out the Dec 10 Investment News article by Jeff Benjamin -- "ICI seeks a protected market for mutual funds."

As you're reading this, the ICI is racing to erect anti-competitive barriers around its AUM before the investing public finds out about its secretive, back-room dealings.
