I2, it is really unfortunate. Some people claim that the Feds never told any one to get in to the margin. Grownups make their own choices and live by them. It is the case, in many walks of life - not in investing. The Feds HAS a responsibility to keep the balance in the economy. They should not tilt in such a way that one sector is favored over the other so that people can make foolish choices. If a toddler tries to stick his tongue in to electrical outlet, it is parents duty to prevent it.

Whether we like it or not, there are going to be more gory stories than this. When the whole thing implodes, which it will, I would not be surprised if there is a lot of bloodshed. As a matter of fact, despite taking heavy blows (financial) myself, as a person with bearish views on the market, I will be seen as a villian (I hope that is not what you are implying in your post).
