Fox Mulder leaves aliens for sub-prime

Fox Mulder has decided to leave behind aliens and extraterrestrial life and focus on US problems. One of those problems is the wide spread sub-prime, that almost bankrupt financial institutions.

FBI announced that it will start investigations on 14 companies related to the sub-prime crises, focusing on accounting fraud, securitization of loans and insider trading. These companies weren't nominated but they are probably the companies that made possible the sub-prime, from bundling to selling.

While Fox is on the run, chasing the sub-prime mess, Dana Scully will communicate with Justice Department, US Securities and Exchange Commission and various state attorneys.

I tend to agree with FBI by sending their top 2 agents; it's a miracle, a wonder, a rare phenomenal, all at the same time, how some bonds got AAA rating when some of them just didn't make out for triple C

Just for me (and the rest of planet) wasn't it easier just to have a real regulators on the financial system?

Fundies and Trading
There is a constant question from some traders as to why anybody would ever need to consider the ‘F’ word when trading. Fundamentals: what is so damaging at looking at both Technical charts and having a Fundamental filter to gauge how many Lots to put on? Why is it that accepting that Technicals give us price points to trade, but Fundamentals determine the direction that we travel is so difficult for some traders to accept? Without a Fundamental Filter very few pure Technical traders would have seen this Dollar move coming today.
