In case of default, who would make money?

[flyingfysh]

Whenever there is financial turmoil, some people can make a lot of money. Is there any evidence that someone is trying to profit from a possible default? Perhaps the Koch brothers? Someone else? Is there any way to tell if someone is "shorting" dollars or treasury bonds?

4. It's not going to move THAT much.

He would have been much better off buying AAPL.

3. everyone shorting stock and holding precious metals

you can't buy or sell stocks or precious metals without a record being kept, and every obstructionist needs to have their finances gone over w. a fine tooth comb

if they have financially benefited from a short sale or precious metals while serving in congress to discuss this issue or serving in the press to discuss this issues(this includes the propaganda arm) they need to go to prison for stock and financial manipulation

these are known laws, they need to be enforced and they need to be enforced NOW

sure, the GOP would whine that they were oppressed, so fucking what? let 'em whine in joliet
