Won't see dust settling until governments, Fed, ECB, and other big international financial institutions give up and let things slide.

This is their own "Battle of Bulge."

"give up and let things slide"

Good thinking. If the gazillion Ponzis were created out of whole cloth. I should think all there really is at the core are mortgages. Buy them up, everyone else is out of luck.

Uh, yeah. Problem is, the mortages belong to Joe The Plumber, the Ponzis belong to Chauncy Gotrocks. And despite what you may have heard, Joe does NOT have the ear of the governing elite. But Chauncy sure as hell does.
