Summary: What a way to run an economy

I find my biggest concern out of the last week is that a bunch of sheep like
speculators are running the world's economy.  First they all get excited and
knock down the stock market and then they run around trading their money for
(what?) gold (?) and weaken a lot of currencies.

Isn't there a better mechanism for economic regulation?  (Yes, yes, yes,
to all you free marketeers out there ... I know that government control
doesn't work any better [or worse :-)].)
