LOL Monday September 17, 5:38 am Eastern Time RESEARCH ALERT-Lehman ups global equities weighting LONDON, Sept 17 (Reuters) - Lehman Brothers said on Monday it had raised its recommended weighting in global equities to ``overweight'' from ``neutral'' and cut allocations in bonds and cash, saying global equities looked cheap. Lehman global equity strategist Joe Rooney raised his global allocation in equities to 70 percent from 60. He cut his global bond allocation by five percent to 30 percent and cash to zero from five percent. ``European stocks are currently more cheaply valued than at any time since January 1988. Crucially, it is now the case that global equity valuations have also moved into unambiguously cheap territory,'' said Lehman European strategist Ian Scott in a research note.

Mike, unless I misunderstand you you are not fully protected by FDIC. If I have deposits in several different FDIC-insured institutions, will my deposits be added together for insurance purposes? No. Deposits in different institutions are insured separately. But, if an institution has one or more branches, the main office and all branch offices are considered to be one institution. So, if you have deposits at the main office and at one or more branch offices of the same institution, the deposits are added together when calculating deposit insurance coverage. Financial institutions owned by the same holding company, but separately chartered, are separately insured. fdic.gov
