i haven't got time at the moment to really respond but wanted to say that the idea behind the op was to use what looks to be happening around bp to think about a range of issues and not merely the "too big to fail" canard...i was just struck by the presence of that claim this morning when i first saw the reports in the guardian. while i was making the op i got kinda sidetracked onto the question "well, if bp taking a pounding because they created an environmental catastrophe in the gulf such that they are pressured not to pay out dividends this quarter to shareholders....and that effects pensioners all over the uk....what the hell are pensions doing playing the stock market anyway?"
so i hope this will go in any number of directions.
