House Advantage Series---NYT

"Articles in the House Advantage series from The New York Times examine the ways that Wall Street banks can, and often do, gain advantages over their customers. Today’s giant banks not only create and sell investment products, but also bet on those products, and sometimes against them, putting their interests at odds with some of their customers’. The banks and their lobbyists also help fashion financial rules and regulations. And banks’ traders know what their customers are buying and selling, giving them a valuable edge."
