volatility is not anything but a response to monetarism... and greed

the only period that compares in terms of volatility is 29-32. imo they have already done more than necessary, by putting curbs on program trading and down (but no up) limits on stock index futures contracts. you can't legalize market volatility away. bursting bubbles produce more (above average) volatility, has always been the case, will always be the case. the one thing that may well be argued about is what to do when next time a bubble is spotted. by the time the next one appears, it will all be forgotten again however.
