- How about if I tie it in with risk manipulation by banks, the sort of thing that contributed to the financial collapse? - π 04:56, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

- Risk is very much on mission. People don't understand risk and this is at the heart of a lot of stuff we do cover. A proper coverage and treatment of what risk is, how it's calculated and how people abuse it is certainly needed.
