The problem Jinxx is that some people made the correct bets on these securities and you're going to **** them.

The problem with this is that those correct bets are, in fact, what makes a market. If you change the deal after its been done then you've added - not removed - uncertainty.

This is bad for the market in general because if I can't find someone to take the other side of my trade, I can't do it at all!
