Accidentally Released Documents Show How Goldman et al Engaged in Naked Short S

Do you really think that people would go in for "impulse buying" by
cold-calls or over the internet?

Actually, it's often NOT modest - it's up to 3/4ths of their
yearly earnings. Amazingly, when we incentivize people to
sell high risk products without concern for losses, we get
people selling high risk products without concern for
losses.

Maybe the financial sector should go back to modest salaries
with modest bonuses - of course the industry would lose all
those engineers who were distracted from being productive
and building actual products that do something, but somehow
I think they find work at companies that really do make
products.

>The Internet and cold calling are the main ways of selling such things.

That's scary. In the U.S. no honest business ever engages in cold calling.

Perhaps you're not suggesting the U.K. is any different.
