The only part of derivative bubble that collapsed was commodity
part. The notional value of commodity contracts dropped 80% from top. Sure,
as our deciders blamed the evil commodity speculators for
2008 food crisis and oil spike. They essentially banned that
part. Despite that, oil got back to 80? WTF??? -g-

So, now when commodities blow on their own, they will have nothing
to tool them with? That part of the derivative pyramid was
tiny to begin with. It is now down from 1.6% of total to
essentially unnoticable number. -g-

They need the pyramids to keep the markets behaving according
to 5-year plan, but history says central planning eventually
does not work. -g-

We own the 5-year planning machine (3 credit rating agencies),
and Europe may be getting pissed about that, coz they rate
stuff according to 5-year plan and not according to reality -g-
