EXACTLY!

So now the Securities and Exchange Commission is gearing up for an investigation on the rank speculation going on inside Wall Street, speculation that almost tipped Lehman Bros. over and is threatening to do to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae what the speculators did to the housing market and Bear Stearns -- seed rumors, pick up the pieces, and profit hugely.

If there's an investigation to be done, start there. I've screamed about this before in August 2007 (and take some small conceit in being right), but this is out of control -- and getting worse.

Read up on what a credit default swap is and then you will understand why JPMorgan/Chase, Citibank and Bank of America will be the next to fall, and why Lehman (and Merrill) are propped up.

Wow. I mean, wow.

So what -- if anything -- does an SEC investigation prevent? Or at worst, postpone?
