The reason that the bottom would have fallen out of the market is because all of the investment house whores are in bed together with hundreds of trillions of dollars worth of derivatives.

If and when the derivatives market tanks then the entire world will be in deep doodoo.

If a few people can take down the entire economic world, then perhaps derivitives trading should be more closely regulated, or done away with entirely.

We didn’t have it in the 1950’s and somehow we managed to thrive and prosper!
