If you're referring to the Federal Reserve, it didn't exist in 1929. The Fed was created largely in response to the 1929 debacle. Mike, I believe you're thinking of the SEC. The Fed was created in 1913, largely in response to the death of J. P. Morgan. ;-)

MB: Re:...Federal Reserve, it didn't exist in 1929... FWIW: The Fed,(eral Reserve Act), became law the day before Christmas Eve, in the year 1913...and shortly afterwards, the German International bankers, Kuhn, Loeb and Co. sent one of their partners here to run it.

Fortunately, the Fed knows what it is doing now. It didn't in '29. "If you're referring to the Federal Reserve, it didn't exist in 1929. The Fed was created largely in response to the 1929 debacle." --Mike Buckley Actually, they tightened the money supply in '29. That and Smoot-Hawley are generally given the 'credit' for the depression... and possibly even the resulting conflagration. ps- A friend has a Nextel phone; he raves about it, wants to buy the stock. I'm trying to talk to him about Q, and he's nuts about the private party button, says businesses and married folk dig it, yada yada... anyway, is this a really super MOT technology? Does this feature matter? How does it compare w/CDMA? I was forced to use the Betamax analogy (embarrassing eh?); that even though NXTL may have a superior feature, maybe even be the(ugh!) superior technology, Q has the mo to rule 3G, NXTL's an also ran . Anybody got the skinny on NXTL (tech, not financials)?
