>>>Prudent banking standards have proved essential for many hundreds of years.<<< I quite agree. What I neglected to say in my post is that IMO, the regulations we have might be just what is needed. But w/o regulators enforcing them, they aren't worth very much. I think that Arthur Levitt did a very solid job as SEC chair. He improved the investing world a lot. Took a lot of the wild west out. He got Clinton to give him a lot more bucks and staff. "W" downsized SEC back to where it was before Levitt. While i don't care too much for big government, we have to have regulation. That means rules and enforcers. We have been sadly lacking in the latter.
