Just wanted to bump this question since the referenced forum no longer exists. Since this question was asked originally we've had a major IB fail
under very suspicious circumstances, a decent sized bank run, the head of the FDIC blaming the "blogosphere" for a loss of confidence in banks, and
the Treasury asking for a blank check to bailout the GSE's. I do understand the reluctance by the site owners for such a forum due to people pumping
and bashing positions (take a look at any Yahoo message board on stocks to see what I'm talking about). However, there is just so much going on
economically involving misdirection, covert bailouts, scapegoating, and general chaos that the subject truly deserves it's own thread. There are
plenty of places on the web to talk economics but few to get solely in the speculative/conspiratorial aspects of the subject in a professionally
moderated fashion that ATS does.
