Sure but none of this is a surprise, IMO. You called all
this a "black swan" event, which suggests unforeseeablity. I
call it foreseeable, based in part on the past but also on
the presence of much inappropriately based credit. (I did
not foresee it, but from general reading it seems a number
of people like Buffett and Robert ****ller did.)
