The broadcast and print media over the last week or so have been filled with stories of a massive investigation by the feds into the who, what, where, when, why and how investment managers are trading on inside information. Names have been named, the hunt is on and before the end of the year it is expected that some of Wall Street\u2019s most famous and well- respected will be indicted for making money the old-fashioned way \u2013 illegally.<\/p>\n

If I were a gambler, I\u2019d bet that insider trading has been going on for as long as there has been a stock to sell or a bond to buy. Unfortunately, it\u2019s part of the modus operandiof many managers on the Street. People are always looking for an edge, and sometimes that edge is achieved illegally. I for one applaud the efforts of those involved in the investigation and hope they did everything by the book. It would be a shame if they sullied any good names on the Street at the expense of getting a few bad guys.<\/p>\n
The Madoff legacy seems to becoming clearer by the day. As more active investigations come to light, new rules surrounding how money is managed are being put into place and investors are getting more involved in how their money is being managed. Perhaps his wrongs will help right a few things in the future.<\/p>\n
