Yep. Price gouging. Thanks for making my point. :)
Well is it a bad thing if prices are being manipulated? If so who should intervene? I just read that some banker in the US made $1.7 billion in 1 day speculating with fannie mae and freddy mac stocks or bonds. Not sure how he did it. But is that any worst? Earning million/billions while other people get kicked out of there because they have a mortgage the bank talked them in taking. The banks knew they would be backed up by the US government so they willingly made very risky loans to people they knew that could not really afford it.
