Yes, exactly. This nails the fundamental problem with the street in my view: unlimited upside, limited downside. You risk everything and have a great year you are rolling in cash. You aim high and fail miserably you probably get fired and maybe even picked up at another bank. This doesn't even get started on the lack of criminal enforcement for fraud, etc. Right on.



Where is the fraud in as you put ti "aim[ing] high and fail[ing] miserably?"


Oh, I didn't mean to imply that there is fraud in the vast majority of cases. Just that there is some subset of that behavior that produces fraudulent activity.
