It would matter if we had politicians who acted before bubbles collapse instead of bailing out the perpetrators after the fact.

That will successfully prevent 200% of market multipliers: bubbles and just plain sudden rapid value creation.

It's like cutting out the prostate from all men at age 30 to prevent nearly 100% of prostate cancer.

    So a win-win. Market multipliers rarely end up well, bubbles or not.

    It's more like cutting steroids from all men, and letting them build strengh naturally over time by training.

  • If actions are extreme, perhaps. But that doesn't have to be the case.

    We have made efficient frictionless markets a holy cow. The appropriate response is not to eliminate them.

    The better part of "rapid value creation" is not the rapidity.
