The knee-jerk reaction to watching this documentary might be to immediately pull all your retirement money and stuff it under your mattress then calling your congressman and demanding more regulation. Neither reaction would be wise nor would they be effective. The root message is not that deregulation is bad, the root issue is greed and greed is no less prevalent in the government that would seek to regulate business than it is in the business themselves - in fact, history would seem to support the notion that we have far more to fear from governments than from businesses or free markets. Regulating business with government control is not a solution any more than hiding your money under your mattress. Republicans, Democrats, and yes, even Libertarians are just as greedy as business leaders - giving them control is no safer than letting the market control itself.
A better lesson to learn is that stated by a former Enron employee at the end of the movie when he suggested Enron's own motto - "ask why?" Be a wise investor and know the company in which you are investing. If you cannot understand how they make their money it does not necessarily mean you are too stupid to understand - it might just be you understand even better than they. Be a wise citizen as well and note how money influences your representatives - do not assume their rhetoric is entirely accurate but ask them difficult questions until you understand the issues. Do not respond with fear, respond with seeking understanding instead.
An excellent documentary that makes you think and makes you ask, "why? " You will want to see this.
