They could swing a whole section of any market / sector to their advantage... & at the same time loans to emerging markets / countries have always been a gamble & have had more losses that returns ... Look at Russia they defaulted on all of their loans ... Then started a boom in oil & minerials in their exports... Also there has only been 1 country that has repaid both world war debts / loans completely That was FINNLAND... the rest of them still owe this country for both world wars , espicialy Russia... How about they pay it back with instrest..????I know this sounds strange , it would bankrupt the world to have to repay the US...the next president will have his hands full just to survive..Then we have china which wants to by-pass the ports in this country & ship thru mexico what a joke if that happens Well I guess that not only does wall street & the banks need to be regulated , but also the hedge funds should be , If they have that much of a reaction/force on the markets
