Whom would you now throw to the wolves? LTCM could well have, by now, unwound any positions! To allow those who were bailed out a bonus was almost more than anyone could bear!

<< What is it that you or anyone else have been "screwed" out of? >>
Miners - wages - even some homes - and careers.
every mining stock owner who sold - everything
every mining stock owner who did not sell - dividends, and the lack of returns vs those who were bailed out.

<<Who listens to the advice of investment firms?>>
