Things are not the same. We now have a new culture - a golden parachute and a bullet proof Bentley. Who in the right mind would kill themselves? -g- FD quant will get fired without a parachute, of course, and that would be painful if they didn't save some of that 500K salary + 1M bonus. Some sure did. Stocks are owned by pension funds, not Jesse Livermore. Hear about them going broke? We sure do. There is a secondary effect - as folks get broke, so does the financial industry. However, since March 2009 the financial industry found a new tit, Ben. The scary part - all other sources are now mia. So, it seems we have printed profits there. What I mean is that all profits in the financial industry are entirely due to Ben's generosity.
