Remember that scene from the Titanic, where the pressure of the water on the outside of the hull became more intense. At first the water seeped slowly through the seems. It then exerted more pressure until the rivets popped off and the fate of the ship was sealed.

Those curbs are much like the rivets on the hull, trying to hold the inevitable at bay. They may work a good bit of the time-even if the rivets are a bit faulty (as we have learned as of late with the real Titanic). But what happened with the Titanic, and what will eventually happen with the stock market, is a perfect storm of events. It is not a question of if but when. And despite our protests that this is a Democracy, it has a class system as rigid as the dining rooms and the life boats WILL be seated according to class.

The best we can do at SWT is tell folks the truth as best we can glean and let them make their own decisions.
