What mega-corps are getting the bailouts this time? Weyland-Yutani? Toha Heavy Industries? Lexcorp? HSBC? Veidt Industries?

I'll change my investments this afternoon.

Edit*

This is my bad-mood day way of asking, 'Where is this crash going to happen?' Is it really going to be some seventeen year old Romanian hacker that causes the next crisis? Something else? I know enough to know that I am hopelessly out of my depth here.

Banks dude. Duh, banks.

Ever since Glass-Steagall died they've been pony-players. Stock market goes out, it's banks. Bond market goes out, it's banks. Real estate goes out, it's banks.

Which one is going to get the biggest slice of the next bailout pie? Theoretically that would also be the one to have the best return on stock investment, right?

You just don't want to be the Bear Sterns when the music stops. Or the Washington Mutual for that matter.
