Understood. Thanks. My point is that when all the sums are added up, after the fees are all deducted, there will be a net loss in the system. There could be layer upon layer of fees when all is considered. When you have the low end derivative estimate, 630 trillion, that can add up to lots of fees. Derivative selling is a good place to be if you need to make a lot of dough I guess. Therefore, if a largish hole appears in the economy, this loss can be further amplified if derivative contracts start kicking in. Once again, these contracts have have an overall loss due to fees. The "bookies" wont have enough to pay the winners in that particular segment of the economy. Hence a financial domino falls over and the the next financial domino is sitting on an overall loss too. The more money you print, the bigger the risk. Maybe that's why Warren Buffet calls derivatives (as per the link given) "Financial Weapons of Mass Destruction" and maybe printing lots of money is maybe not a good idea as it increases risk at the end of the day. jmho.
