Very interesting DVDW.

Isn't this the natural result of a Broker/Dealer/Banker dominated "system?"

Or to put it another way... do you think its caused by some sort of misguided industry/government "policy" whose primary goal is to employ this artificial balance to (a) smoothing out otherwise painful gyrations in the markets while (b) allowing the huge concentration of wealth in the Broker/Dealer/Banker sector as "just compensation" for the service?

My perceptions may be incorrect but I see all this as having been enabled by the ultimate melding of the Chicago school of economics, with Greenspeak un-regulation, and the computer age?

How could self-interested human beings in our financial "system" produce anything else given such a backdrop?
Of course this "policy," (a) above, will likely fail at some point, and the actions of those compensated ,(b) above, for avoiding that outcome will likely be a major contributing cause... but is this not typical of "system" manager/controllers at all times and places?

Andrew Jackson lost the fight... the Broker/Dealer/Bankers have been in control ever since... and now they can no longer keep the markets humming without huge doses of derivative "steroids" and stock-IOU "HGH." There simply isn't enough real asset value left to keep them a float, so they do whatever is required to pump up the transaction volumes.
