Glaziers thrive on broken windows, therefore they cause them and we'd be better off without plummers. Yes, Compass are just ignorant teenagers issuing 'reports' on things they don't understand. Speculators decrease, not increase volatility, as theory predicts and the evidence shows. In fact, hedge funds are perhaps the worst example Compass could have chosen. The definition of a hedge fund is one that 'hedges', i.e. spreads around risk. Which is better and more stable than having it in one area. It's like pressure, not dog shit.

So if politicians gave up on the eye catching initiatives that everyone has to spend half their lives adjusting to the hedge funds would wither, and we'd all be able to put our time to more productive use.
