[RT] Markets: Stock Index Futures and regulation

I doubt that stock index futures are going to get very far off the ground.
Essentially, stock index futures (low margin and high leverage) are the last
nail in the coffin of post-29 market regulation. I believe that we are in
the early stages of a major cyclical bear market and I expect to see stock
market volumes diminish to levels not seen in decades as a byproduct of
severe price declines ... the pendulum always swings from one extreme to the
other. I further expect that liquidity in the futures and options markets
will suffer.

I find it especially ironic that the post-29 market and banking regulations
were removed just as the markets moved to such excess. The fact that these
regulations were seen to be inhibiting the upward move of the markets should
have been a warning rather than a reason to remove the regulations.
