"The more one believes this is how an unregulated financial system operates, the more worried one has to become. Rescue from this crisis may be on the way, but what about next time and the time after next?"

Ahhhhhhhhh... The systemic risk.

How many times are we going to ask this question? The 1930s bank failures... the S&L fiasco... Enron... now the mortgage bankers.

Preventing these kinds of problems is simple... The hard part is kicking the habit and giving up the absurdly addictive and thoroughly illusory cash flow.

A little heads up in reply to your previous post. The operational Sameness of hedge funds, which are now coming into a period of severe test, is being moved horizontally into a new class of management companies dealing with individuals using the sameness plan, modified to suit terms for individual investor accounts. This allows hedgies to get a borrow from IRA and 401K accounts, where most stock is held.

These new plans place administrators into a role as source provider allowing disconnected relationships to locate inventory as short fuel. The administrators then collect fees from the Hedgies which they do not report to the account holders whose retirement shares have hence been loaned under the covenants of the account trading agreement.

individual investors who might be on the verge of examining trading services, might save themselves a whole lot of aggravation, by seeking understanding of the missing information......all the best schemes are built around/behind the missing information.
