To me it seems more like a well engineered conspiracy than lunacy.
#1- The government repeals the Glass Stengall act
#2- The government prods Fannie and Freddie into the sub prime arena
#3- The government gets rid of the uptick rule
#4-The government removes capitalization requirements for banks
#5- Houses rocket in price because of all the sub prime buyers, who didn't have to put any money down, had lousy credit, and ridiculously low rates. Anyone with an oz. of brains would realize the eventual outcome of giving people homes that would never be paid for!
#6- Now the banks are stuck with all these bad loans! A shocking revelation!
#7- The government forces mark to market accounting as the housing market implodes!
#8- The shorts have a feeding frenzy courtesy of the SEC (which doesn't enforce naked shorting) losing the uptick rule
#9- Every big bank in America wind up declaring chapter 11 so the balance sheets can be made clean as a whistle
#10- 15 Trillion in market wealth changes hands
#11- The American manufacturing base goes to China and India
#12- The biggest 5 banks emerge quickly from bankruptcy with clean balance sheets and new classes of common stock are issued (the old stockholders burned at the stake, left with nothing)
#13- We shall see who the new owners of the banks will be
These are the wild ideas that are beginning to float in my increasingly suspicious and worried mind. Just a guy who's amazed at how things are shaping up. Please give me some intelligent reasons as to why I am mistaken in my fears.
