No question that we were playing a dangerous game for far too long. We will never learn though - only keep trying for the big time payout. RF DP,

]]> Comment on 2008 - The Economic/Financial Year in Review by Mark http://bbfin.com/?p=29#comment-62 Mark Sat, 03 Jan 2009 16:22:44 +0000 http://bbfin.com/?p=29#comment-62 Daren, this is a great summary! I had almost forgotten some of the things that happened early on in 2008, which led to turmoil later in the year. Energy prices, in my opinion, is one of the craziest, because look at it today, and I believe that in 6 to 12 months, it will be a completely different story (we'll probably be saying the same things a year from now). It's crazy to believe that back in February, I wrote a grad school paper on the need for increased regulatory controls on the US banking system. I almost felt dirty saying what I was saying, and many others said I was crazy and had lost my economic brain. But, I knew it was right, and sure enough, months later we witnessed one of the largest banking crises we've seen in 80 years. The global financial system will never be the same, and even though I believe we'll be better off for it in the end run, I still believe a major contributing factor was the impact of inadequate regulatory oversight and enforcement of existing policies. Hopefully, we'll learn from it all and can take those lessons into significant value creation in 2009! Daren, this is a great summary!
