Realizing that the couple of Sugarfree Red Bull's I had tonight on my way home from New Hampshire just might keep me awake for awhile tonight :rolleyes: :mad:

Listening to Paulson put lipstick on a pig. So, they rearrange the deck chairs on the leaky SS Wallstreet again, threw LEH overboard and forced ML to sit on BAC's lap. AIG and WAMU lost their chairs, but the music is still playing. They'll wait until the weekend again.

The Fed added that it was suspending a rule that normally prohibits deposit-taking banks from using deposits to help finance their investment banking subsidiaries to allow them to fund activities normally funded in the repo market on a temporary basis until January 30 2009.

Might be time to start stuffing the mattress . . .

No harm in protecting yourself. Keep deposits within FDIC and SIPC limits, insist on getting book entry on securities (out of custodial accounts) or take possession of certificates, add some gold/silver before it runs away. I bet Goldman and Morgan Stanley will be shopping for buyers in the next few months, Merrill Lynch style.
