A Giant Pinball Game - Fast Money Recap (9/30/08)

Global trade is a good thing, but our financial institutions (and theirs) need to remain compartmented, just as the different areas of a ship are... If one area takes a torpedo, it floods just that area, not the entire ship. We don't need to expand our exposure to toxic debt, we need to limit it. Cooperation is OK, but not taking the doors off the hinges and the shades off the windows. We are still a discrete and unique country and we need to start acting like it.
