Default Top of the Chain

I was wondering if anyone here actually could give me advice on how do I find the guy on top of the chain instead of dealing with brokers?

Not having enough capital is usually why people can't get to the top of the chain..

Yeah i wanted to do this a while ago, i wanted to deal with the manufacture direct, but there is a reason while they only deal with the big fish, and thats because they place orders worth millions of dollers a month!

In an idea world/forum we could pool together to get further up the chain as alot of us are like minded BUT it would never ever ever work as there is always some t\|/at (s) that will take advantage and rock the boat for their own benifits.
