re Maddoff -
it is quite apparent that all the investors in his ventures were assuming that somebody else has done his research. My fear of a bllowup out of the blue is the reason I would have a hard time to invest in those alternative investments or hedge funds. Just too much incentive for the folks running these things to bet it all on red. the most likely outcome of this mishap is that those unregulated assets will have even higher outflows.

I do not think that such a thing could happen with mutual funds where auditing is much more regulated and the incentive to do such a thing just isn't there for the manager. FWIW LSBRX is still heading down as well as the junk bond funds that I am following. The persistent decline of the bond market (sans treasuries) is one of the reasons why I am fairly skeptical about the near term outlook for stocks.
