Hi Vi, We need to relax. Japanese are talking their book. Toyota now has 35% less margin in the same product. The SU government is now big owner of domestic car manufacturing. For the first time in my 40 years in the car business the Japanese no longer have the currency 15-20 % advantage. This is very healthy for domestic manufacturers and better the good for exporter. For thos wanting to vacation outside of the USA - try New Zealand and let the Euros pay high everything. This is good for business -not bad. Relax and enjoy domestic prosperity. Bob That is not to say we should not curbed outrageous government spending. Bob

Your call to ban derivatives was the right one. If voices of people like Mandelbrot and Taleb (among many others) are to be believed, derivative remedies are insufficient. Other practices such as high frequency trading, algorithmic trading, and instantaneous concurrent trades in the millions are here to stay. Collectively, these all point to increased systemic risk. But markets are back, and we're off to the races again: casino capitalism. Regardless of concerns, there will be inadequate remedies for practices most consistently deemed dangerous. We can speculate as to reasons (most prominent of which is deep capture) but at this point, the dangers of capture are not sufficiently addressed, either. It ain't gonna happen. They made some changes, but they won't clean up the system. The criminals are collecting bonuses, the frauds have been dismissed, the victims have been robbed twice, and we await the future. Jim
