Political Factoid

Only the privileged get access to the
high profit opportunities.
  • The underwriters (banks handling
    IPOs) get to pick who gets the
    shares at the "offering price."
     
    1. Good-ole-boys network
    2. The rich get richer.
     
  • For example, in 2008, Warren
    Buffet
    was able to get $3 billion
    in GE preferred stock - stock that
    was unavailable to most people.
More OVE that the "free market" is
not so free after all.
