Maserati, I appreciate the detailed response but with all due respect, I think it's unrealistically pessimistic and I think you're giving these guys more credit then they deserve. In my opinion there's no grand scheme because they're all mostly idiot bros speculating on one thing or another or riding some sort of free money train. The only "conspiratorial" element I see is that the big players know they'll get bailed out and can skirt the rules. They can buy ratings on bonds (because those are just "opinions") and they know the tax payer will bail them out. It's like a gambler playing with monopoly money. Who cares if you lose? Put it all on red!

The English language is not one of Igy's strong points. Neither is basic math.

Great use of the comma. Thanks for proving my point.

“Our world watch list.” How profound and truly earth shattering news.
