Real Info...Niced Post...The derivatives market has the ability to severely impact the economy...It is one of the possible bubbles....Like the Bond Bubble, student loans, or the just plain printing of money...

Thanks for posting the article!

There's so much money in bonds and more coming in.
The ten year Treasury ended the day at 1.59%.
By all accounts, that's about the inflation rate.
There's every indication that the rate of return will go much lower.

I suspect this will be the trigger.
And derivatives would be the likely culprit for systemic failure.........
But it would be good news and the flight from bonds that will trigger derivative failure not the fiscal cliff..........my guess.
