This may offend some forumers but I do not think these investors deserve any help.

 

They are adults and are old enough not to be misled into making decisions they do not want to, no matter how the RMs at the banks try to influence them into making the plunge.

 

It's all fuelled by greed.

I agree, but for slightly different reasons.

 

Lehman Bros collapse took everybody, even the pros totally by surprise. I think those who were savvy enough also thought LB is so established, there's no reason for their investments to just evaporate. But it did.

 

Do all those investors deserved to be helped? All investments come with risks, and if every apparently sound investment end up turning sour, and then the investors expect the Govt to step in and help, wouldn't that be making all the taxpayers "guarantee" these people's investments? That's not fair isn't it?
