LEHMAN, MERRILL, & AIG: Party's Over

[k_amp_s]

Well I am a graduate student of economics and tend to think I understand markets decently well. Businesses equally as well, since i invested my way through my undergrad and I am still making a bunch of money today, when the big dogs on wall street are loosing. I can say just by your post, that you don’t understand free markets. Trickle Down economics again is nothing more than collective regulation. Do you actually believe it to be hands off? How can it be, when the government still taxes highly and regulates the economy with said taxes. The socialistic structure is still intact. The federal reserve was still there creating credit. Supply side and demand side, aint all to different.

<p>Please - I saw many of these things coming and did very well as well, thank you.</p>

A economy cannot survive if the prices of its commodities are not precisely know. This was the downfall of the Soviet Union.

<p>No - the downfall of the Soviet Union was a state-run economy.</p>

<p>And to take your point - what was the “true value” of oil earlier this year w/ accordance to supply and demand? It certainly was $146+/bbl.</p>
