I have seen speculation that the runup in stock prices has been fueled primarily by the investment banks with money from the TARP. If that’s true and small investors entered the market with the expectation this was a true rally instead of a govt funded bubble they’re in for a real surprise.

Maybe not - they can sell and take profit from their buys at their low points.

Read same thing. But I hope the banks made some money, at least, and can use it to pay back some of the TARP!
