We'll see. I still think the true cause of this bubble is the widespread use of interest rates and forex derivatives. All derivative-based models work fine and make money under just one key assumption - liquidity. When there is no liquidity, they fail, bringing down financial companies holding these instruments. Now that JPM holds most of these, I think the assumption of liquidity has to be questioned should any kind of panic materialize there. What if some of these cash-starving companies default on their debt? I think only commodity markets are safe to trade at this time!
