Thank you for that excellent post! I needed to read that. Sadly, my brain will only retain a simplistic version: stock market volatility players = market parasites. The paracites are so focused on the short term buy and sell they can't see that they're killing their host. The not so funny thing is, if(when) they kill the host their (and our) bank balances will be nothing more than a string of worthless numbers.

I second that. You have a knack for it. Moreover, you are providing a great service, in more ways than you might imagine, by demystifying these financial 'innovations', etc.

There is a concerned class of people who are very kindly urging that these matters are too complex for us to worry our pretty heads over.

Thanks Rob.

I was worried that the post was so damn long no one would read it. Which would be a shame because `i personally feel it is the heart of so much that is gong on and will go on.

I could have written more but I am a man of mercy.
