The film that cost $20,000,000,000,000 to make

Parallels and relevance to what is going on right now. All of the parallels are not yet clear, but here are a few:

4. More potential carnage in September/October

5. Role of regulators specifically NOT doing their jobs

6. Mismatch of long-term underwater investments and short-term cash needs

7. Realized losses occur with forced sale of LT investments or mark-to-market
