Your post required no response. The global financial system, as I have shown by the numerous hyper-links to various articles throughout this thread, is much larger and more inticately complex than the U.S. stock market. What is becoming apparent though, to even people who have until now not followed financial affairs very closely, is that the system is under extreme stress and vulnerable to collapse at the next emerging crises. The volatility reflected in the whipsaw ups and downs of the global equity markets is not indicative of stability and certainty, but rather, such extreme turbulence and uncertainty is symptomatic of a dying system on the verge of panic and collapse. Unquestionably such volatility, while presenting great risks, is also viewed an opportunity for the market's players to make great profits, yet, in the overall scheme of things, it only amounts to the proverbial rearranging of the deck chairs on the sloping decks of the doomed Titanic. / You Know
