You guessed it - the #1 lobbying group the past decade.<BR/><BR/>Money talks in this country.<BR/><BR/>What is happening now is just the tail end of lack of regulation and looking the other way. Eventually the animal gets too big for its cage - how do you stop free markets? Remember, regulation is evil. If someone is dumb enough to give them 30:1 or 40:1 leverage - well that is the free market. If the ensuing carnage causes the rest pain? Who cares - just like Freddie Fannie - after the free market destroys the bad decisions there is 1 person to clean up the mess. You (your tax dollars).<BR/><BR/>Enjoy :)TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-35532295609121685322008-09-09T15:23:00.000-04:002008-09-09T15:23:00.000-04:00It seems like everyone is blaming the hedge funds for these huge fluctuations...if so, why isn't anybody doing anything about it (is it possible to limit the amount of shares these guys can buy up?)?crappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17601884181311375715noreply@blogger.com
