Media: They are figuring it all out

Sooner or later, those crafty reporters will circle in on the real story. That much you can pretty much count on. You can't hide anything for long in today's modern, media-centric society. It only took these guys a year or so to follow the money back to Wall Street.

In today's International Herald Tribune:

"As the subprime loan crisis deepens, Wall Street firms are increasingly coming under scrutiny for their role in selling risky mortgage-related securities to investors."

I just hope the pendulum doesn't swing too far back in the other direction and our nation's best salesmen start getting pummeled for doing what they were told to do: sell off risk to investors who are either not savvy enough to know better or cocky enough to think they can make a killing and sell off before the bottom falls out.
