Citi has canned a lot of their credit card rewards offerings,
which other banks, such as AMEX didn't. I had 30 bucks in
netbank, I'm sure I'll get it back. But, I'm glad that
was just a dead open account. -g- This blowing up stuff does
not comfort me at all. How do we stay safe? If every bank
blows up, will FDIC then pay a hefty sum with many zeroes?
Will the dollar continue to crater or will it rally now?
Will gold crater now? Good questions. I think we are now in
really uncertain times of frequent blowups due to all the
HUGE bad debt out there. Derivatives are bilaterial OTC
agreements, or they are traded on exchanges (a much smaller %)
An entity that blows up will have to close its positions.
We'll see more volativity soon, of that I'm certain. Quite
likely a tanking market, as entities in trouble sell their
stock portfolios to raise cash. We've seen that in August.
