The last thing we need is people out there betting their savings on what they read in Derivatives for Dummies.

Why? It is their money. If the real estate market bubble bursts (and ftr, I don't believe this is possible on a national scale) the pundits and liberals in congress will be saying the same thing about allowing people to bet their savings on real estate.
I am in consistent in one thing, let the market decide.
