Thanks for the rundown on how money-center banks and brokerages create derivatives to balance the public's positions in the underlying stock and options. I judge that they then manipulate the price of the underlying stock to achieve a positive financial result for themselves.

It appears to me that the "titanic bubble" resulting from all of this activity has created a financial iceberg in which the visible security is just the tip of a larger mass of derivatives which we can neither see, measure nor understand the implications of. This is unmanageable and not susceptible of regulation. Does this bother anyone or am I just off base?
