Gersh, as far as i can tell from anecdotal as well as statistical evidence, people have gone all out to buy stocks, mortgages, credit cards, margin, leverage is piled upon leverage. the same goes for the hedge funds, and the mutual funds are sitting on the lowest percentage of cash to assets in decades (i.e. they don't have the wherewithal to save the market). imo, the problem is either solved by a painful market collapse, or alternatively the problem gets even bigger, which means ultimately the outcome will be the same. my earlier remark stands: a bubble can not go down peacefully. it either gets fed by expanding credit and inflates further, or it pops. no in-betweens.
