We've been through the mess created by the CDO failure when the real estate bubble popped.

The next will be the implosion of the derivatives market. If we are very, very lucky it will happen slowly, over months. If things go true to form, money will disappear overnight.

I'm sure some of these guys see it coming, although it is impossible to predict when it will happen. It might be tomorrow, it might not happen for five years or more.

But it will happen. It has to happen.

had a puff piece about Jamie Dimon with Dimon saying "can't we just move on and forget the banks involvement in the financial disaster"

I didn't see anything about him leaving Chase but I certainly wish he would.

I mean, we can argue all day about who tanked who's economy and who made reckless investments and now is expecting another bailout from working people, but the truth of the matter is that the banksters are really mad, too. So why don't we all just agree that everybody's mad at everyone else, and just go from there? Now, we were just at the point where everyone had agreed to work for the next ten years or so to make good on the most speculative bets the Big Money Boyz could dream up. You don't want these captains of industry to lose money, do you? You don't hate the free markets, do you? Let's all work with a will and a happy disposition to make sure that the great and good free markets continue to operate as they should, to the exclusive benefit of those who have more money than they know what to do with.
