Help plz: Anybody recall a video with Wall Street wheeler-dealers.....

... laughing about how they schnookered small investors into giving up their money into funds that they wouldn't touch with 10-foot poles, and stuff like that?

I seem to remember seeing such a video about a year or so ago - almost like a spycam kinda thing...

Any links/torrents/whatever to such a thing would be greatly appreciated!

3. THAT'S what it was!

Awesome - can you put it somewhere where I can download (rather than stream) it?

Or you can email it to me... PM me or wutever, I'll give you my email...

Now that I know more exactly what it is, I'll look for it on the inet...

Thanks - you rule!

5. Thanks Nomad - got it!

BTW - now that I'm thinking about it again, I'm pretty sure there *was* some kind of media with stock brokers or wutever, talking about tricking people into bad investments. Do you recall such a thing?

Thanks again!

6. You're not thinking of the emails between brokers, are you?

They were in the news and part of the Spitzer investigation.

7. Possibly.....

Were they sorta joking with each other about getting folks to invest in things that they "wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole"? I seem to recall that phrase specifically.....

Thanks for the suggestion - I'll start looking for that....
