| What To Do |
| The last question during one of the most recent Republican Presidential debates was something along the lines of, as President, how would you restore the publics’ confidence in the US financial markets? As is par for the course these days, nobody answered the question, few tried, fewer were actually asked, and I highly doubt any of the individuals on stage have so much as traded a stock in their entire lives - as amazing as that may sound. I am running for President of The United States but don’t own any “equity” in America. I can think of three things that I would do immediately (as President) to cure the ills of the public’s confidence in the United States capital markets. 1) Manual labor for white collar criminals. Have these guys sweep the streets in and around NYC. Better yet, have them clean up after the “Occupy Wall Street” movement. And, jail them at Rikers v. the Madoff country club – the later of which is a Penn State embarrassment to the victims and American justice. 2) Either outlaw or regulate the complicated exotic nobody can understand even the Wall Street pinstripes speculative investment products including short selling, derivatives (especially credit derivative swaps), and off balance sheet accounting gimmicks of the aforementioned fatal if you are wrong speculative Wall Street concocted products. That’s right shorting and derivatives do nothing, absolutely nothing for the financial markets, other than line the pockets of some extremely wealthy savvy smart hedge fund “gamblers” (gamblers because these guys never, that’s right never, repeat these one time massive bets that topple industries and speculative bubbles, ergo housing in 2008). Don’t believe me – read a book! 3) Limit either by law or regulation the massive ‘over-leverage’ on Wall Street inclusive of the bond, equity, and derivatives markets. You simply cannot let a few random maverick rogue traders collapse the entire economic system in America because they are trying to make themselves $100 million on a single trade. Again, the evidence to the contrary simply doesn’t exist, and everybody with so much as a brain and a conscious, knows this. For those of you who don’t agree with my measures, that’s fine with me, because I have a solution for that as well. The next time a financial meltdown happens for the exact same reasons as is always the case (100% do to over-leverage, derivatives, short selling), then you bail the rogue maverick Wall Streeter’s out! Me, no thanks!!!! |
