<<In fact, they have gone the other way........they are barely lending.>. They are barely lending because they can make much more money gambling with it on the world markets. GS had 68 days last year when they made 100 million a day. They almost never have a down day. Super computers and esoteric algorithiums. They have even dealt with the slowness of the speed of light on a round earth by moving trading centers for line of sight, sort of. Average stock is on the market for 3 minutes. 85% of trading is big guys. They are leveraged at 600 trillion. Nothing has changed at all. Too much money being made for anyone to change. Koan, get back to me when you take off your tin foil hat. You've been hanging out too long on the RE thread.
