Yes and if I remember correctly he was writing a book. As for regulatory, well we have regulatory. We need them to enforce such. I'm always reminded of a scene from Godfather 1 where Brando has been shot and there's supposed to be an officer stationed out front of his room to protect him yet when Mikey shows up. NO officer. So it has been with the regulatory. Heck who can forget a certain senator standing in front of a camera in 2005 stating there is no such thing as naked shorting. Or back in 2007 Christopher Cox saying the same until my my there he was in 2008 implementing the first ban of 2 in 2008. And even then they excluded all but the selected financials and those that were to be protected. AXP.GS, MS, and even ol GE. Any where it was determined if they failed the whole thing would just seize up.OH OH. Yet you are correct the leverage is extreme and one only has to look at the Volkswagen/Porche deal to grasp what can happen when there's a forced buyin. Yet the problem with many positions nowadays is that if they did enforce they could crush or collapse those involved. As we have seen the seizures spread thruout the world and implementing back then or here and now would be disasterous. And the longer we go the less chance of it happening. I've always compared it to a ball of fishing line that is just entangled. Not easy to untangle and to do so takes TIME. The way I address it is I attempt to inform those who want to be informed versus listening to some captured pundit of other whose goal is to confuse the avg person versus educate. So for those who do want to accept it exists I say exploit it. Cuz no one is going to change it any time soon. I spent years writing and to no avail. That is how I came across DR X. He too was frustrated and annoyed. When one day the light bulb went off and it could be then revealed. THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX IT. GEESH WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST TELL ME. THANKS FOR YOU INPUT. Good to read your perspective. Fintas
