As for small mom-n-pop investors, the level of mistrust for 'Wall Street' is still quite high. I mean who can blame the poor investors, especially this week when it looks like crooks from the previous (read early 2000s) scandals got some court rulings favorable to them and financial reform bill on capital hill seems to be loosing some toughness.

• VMW ($12.5 M)
• ECTY ($9.99 M)
• MOTR ($9.3 M)
