The level of speculation and the credit bubble is in stark
contrast with what happened back then.

1 quadrillion notional value for derivatives (control mechanism)
is on the way, I'm afraid. That's 1 and 15 zeroes.

1,000,000,000,000,000

World GDP: 54 billion, 5% percent of that. If left unchecked,
this will go to 2 quadrillion or 10 quadrillion notional.
I don't know where to go when this goes KA-BOOM, and it will.
