Institutional Speculators Disrupt Futures Markets: The Evidence Mounts

John:

I respect (and disagree) with your opinion.

Why should the (you call) few wealthy irresponsible individuals care about the public's interest? What personal liability and obligation do they have to it? Seriously ask yourself that question.

If there is an opportunity to make money you'd be irrational not to take it. If everyone operated with the mentality of doing what was best for the whole instead of themselves (altruism), markets would be inefficient. You are questioning the institution of laissez-faire capitalism (free markets) when asking for regulation to protect certain individuals. Market efficiency is impossible under those (regulated) conditions.
