3. The mafia is obsolete

Why go into illegal crime when you can accomplish the same thing through legal crime?

4. I watch CNBC and read Marketwatch, Morningstar, etc.

and can never figure out exactly what's going on. I think I got more of an education from that description than I would from a year of seeing/reading the musings of financial news analysts. Thanks for link.

6. This deserves to be more widely known

Have you posted it in one of the higher forums?

7. That's a good idea..

...I'll do that now.

8. This is perfect and should allow everybody to understand

just what's been going on in the subprime market. They won't have to kick and claw their way through a lot of economic gobbledygook like I did to figure out what the scam was and just how far it's going to go through this economy before it plays out and we're all walking around in rags.

Please consider cross posting this in the GD forum. It's that good.
