Nice rant. I'm just not sure if it is because the SEC is incompetent or complicit in the process? First Wall Street insiders used an unprecedented degree of leverage, and financial engineering to suck billions and billions out of the U.S. economy... sucking it dry to the point that it is now collapsing from the weight of a pile of it's own worthless derivative paper. They have $25 million dollar apartments on 5th Ave, vacation homes with helipads in the Hampton's, and Yachts the size of ocean liners in Boca... and you and I, - we have the bill. Now is it possible that the puppeteers may use deflation as an offensive weapon to complete the wealth transfer process - just like they used it in the Great Depression. They let the financial markets melt down. They run Ma & Pa Kettle completely out of stocks. They collapse global & emerging markets. And then they step in and snap up China & India on the cheap, consolidate and control the financial system, and load up on commodities before massively reflating. DOW 8500, $550 Gold, and $60 Oil. ...that's the risk. And that just may be their gameplan, and where we're heading. This AIG (and MS\GS) meltdown could be a gameplan changer however. As the puppeteers risk letting this get out of control. Message 24952734 Great quote: If you think health care is expensive now wait until its free.
