Re: Markets have completely failed (none / 1)
What country are you referring to?

I would be very happy to see the US Govt. take ownership of most of these entities.  If the US Treasury could enjoy the kind of profits the IB's have seen over the past ten years we'd be in good shape.

The trouble is that the minute they begin to perform they will be "released" back into the wild.
