Gosh, I think you severely underestimate how long Dean & friends can keep this running. This is an institution, and quite a profitable one for those inside. Smart money is reloading at these levels, confident that Dean has several more laps in him. Actually getting loans and completing acquisitions isn't required for this to be a continued success. Believe me, Dean is sleeping well on his Euro-vacation. Things are going just fine, thanks the gullibility and short memory of some and the greed and flexible morals of others.
