<p>[QUOTE=&quot;InfleXion, post: 1728484, member: 29012&quot;]If you can&#039;t see the connection between QE and stocks hitting all time highs I&#039;m not sure what else to tell you. If it was a snake it would have bitten you. There is no way companies have been profitable enough for dividend returns to justify this balloon run up. Stocks are extremely disconnected from credit right now. The economy is stagnant at best. Jobs are stagnant at best (employment to population ratio).</p><p><br /></p><p>What I don&#039;t think you are grasping about derivatives is that one single asset is used as <i>infinite collateral</i>. We literally have trillions and trillions of dollars of assets that are fractionally leveraged at hundreds of magnitudes to one which means that if that one asset is called upon then hundreds of other assets go *poof*. This is the method used to make institutions appear solvent when they are not, because they get to ballon their balance sheets for free by reloaning the same asset over and over. For it to be a zero sum game there needs to be real collateral backing each and every one of those rehypothecated assets which is not the case.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am not trying to scare anybody. I&#039;m trying to protect people from criminal activity and the risks associated. I didn&#039;t create the risk. If you saw a train wreck coming would you not warn anybody for fear of frightening them? That&#039;s silly. I disapprove of your attempt to make me out to be a fear mongerer and I also disapprove of your attempt to justify fraudulent activity. I don&#039;t have any worries about it either. I am fully protected from these people. I feel bad for those who aren&#039;t.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
