What's right in their mind , would be and is against the mores of others. A sharp business man, just because he/she finds an angle that best sells their product, doesn't mean they were successful (except to those who profit by their angle). to the others, they would just be slimy.

I don't believe that's really what is meant by "Yankee Trader", I believe it means more savvy, astute, 'careful'. It certainly has no connotation of impropriety! harumph... ;-) - ---------------------
