RE: the bomb (really the OTC derivatives Ponzi scheme) I think Bernanke and the Fed actually realize this, and are scared sh!tless that such a catastrophe could indeed happen on their watch. Their actions to prevent this (using their reserve to back the banks and IB's) was a panic reaction - damage control so to speak, not a well-planned action with expected consequences. If this is so - that the Fed comprehends the severity of the derivatives bomb - their best approach would be to diffuse it slowly and carefully, rather than pump it up for a bigger explosion. How to do this? I'm sure BB reads his email daily hoping someone comes up with a good suggestion. It would seem to me that tightening regulations, oversight, anything that would tame the monster without poking or prodding it too hard, would be the answer. The 2 problem are - if it's widely publicized that there is a bomb about to go off, "investors" will be scared, and g-d forbid the stock market goes down, even temporarily. Second, are there enough people on WS (and around the world) who care enough about the larger good to resist fighting the attempts to harness this?
