Well, I guess we need their money forced into other instruments to keep the system afloat!! Proping up the malinvestment with widow's and orphans money... how sad. All this unfolding right in front of our eyes and nothing one can do but warn those close to us that will listen. This is going to make all this energy hoopla look like a walk in the park... the cries for regulation in financial services will start to be heard shortly I think.
