Chris, very nicely explained article. Since I'm an artist and not a financial expert (but I've recently started working on it, thanks to the power of social media) can you tie this information into how it would affect items like our 401K?

Does the danger come from the fact that these lenders the same ones managing our portfolios, or are we just looking at a market drop in general across the board?

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for this Chris - you simplified something I didn't understand while confirming what I suspected: all this buying and selling of the same durn money is just like a pyramid scheme. It only works if you keep finding new buyers who hope to find new buyers...etc.
