Conflict of interest
Conflict of interestThe securities industry is rife with conflict of interest and it's time the issue is dealt with. I find it incomprehensible that the same entities that render public opinions on the value of stocks can simultaneously trade for their own account in the same stock. Virtually every other industry works to limit conflict of interest (e.g. chartered accountants cannot hold shares in a company they audit), yet the securities industry seems oblivious to the potential (and in some cases, real) abuse. I also believe naked shorting should be abolished.
