Heck no. No offense. But look at the stellar example
that Wall Street provides - do we really want to model
the meteorite market after a group of speculators
whose ranks are swollen with people whose sole
motivation is profit before integrity? As long as
indictments are
being handed down a weekly basis to Wall Street major
players, I'd recommend we keep meteorites far away
from
profiteers in 3-piece suits whose sole interest is in
the mighty dollar and not the magic of holding a space
rock.

While I agree that meteorites needs more consistency
in
their trade and pricing - modeling the market after
Wall Street is not a good idea, IMO.
