I’m not saying certain people in the market shouldn’t be blamed. But not the market itself by and large. The proper role of government IMO is to enforce the contracts made in/by the free market and to punish illegal activity within the same.
Our financial markets are regulated
If it were up to me they would be regulated in a way to keep loony upside speculation at bay. Such as in our energy markets
Yes the oil market is correcting downward and good for that
But how would you feel if Russia and Iran are jerking around our oil futures markets. Are you OK with that?
