Bailing out banks with taxpayer money is similar to paying terrorists with nukes threatening to detonate them. Derivatives are financial nukes, and the boys don’t deserve a liquidity injection and a bailout just because they fucked up and threaten to blow up the financial world. Nobody takes their profits in good times. Bailouts destroy free markets and tip the scales in their favor because liquidity injections suppress volatility. We have been bailing out Wall Street during every mini crash since 1987 at least. Simply put, their models work 99% of the time but fail 1% of the time. The Fed is there for the 1% of the time, and that’s a lowball estimate. Why don’t we hand out money to the casinos too when they lose? The market is fractal otherwise fib would not work. TPTB make it Gaussian so that Wall Street random walk models work. It gives Wall Street the ability to print money at the expense of the real economy, by the Fed tipping market odds in their favor.
