[edit] Comprehensiveness

I don't think we do the reader any favours by having such a brief article as the lead article for a series. It needs to mention all the major participants, and have some reason from the economics or finance literature for categories. As a layman, it seems to me that whole categories of participants are missing from the article. Without borrowers, there would be no investors. And where are the treasury departments who buy and sell currency and commodities in order to conduct trade, that give the currency and commodity markets their reason for being? I am afraid I don't have the expertise or the time to expand this. But I may well pitch in and propose dismantling the series until its headline article is more compelling. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 22:54, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree, I see stereotypes instead of a real taxonomy, and nearly no relevant information. --Pgreenfinch (talk) 17:24, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
