Chip Thanks for bearing with me! "So banks can loan 80% of your dollar to someone else. Catch: they can loan that same $0.80 cents many-times-over through margin, derivatives, swaps--an endless array of debt vehicles." _ My question is... is the seemingly endless array of debt vehicles ( how many are there.100,1000, 10,000 ?) being pared down significantly?..if so only in Asia or elsewhere?... and if so is there a possibility of a liquidity crisis spilling over into North America? Could this have anything to do with why Warren Buffet and perhaps China would hedge their bets with silver and gold?..or is this all to simple minded a hypothesis? ...This is really out of my league as a professional architect but am curious?
