hb - "Allowing the state to create paper money is like putting a penny in the fuse box. The resource costs of the penny may be lower than the resource costs of the fuse, but the total costs, which take into account the likelihood of a destructive fire, are undoubtedly higher" - attributed to Alan Greenspan by Roger Garrison, in "The Costs of a Gold Standard", in The Gold Standard, p69.

Welcome back Heinz. Happy holidays to you as well. Should I call you grim with Earlie being grimer. A tidbit you and Earlie may have missed is Travelers is leading a group questioning the surety bonds they issued on hedging transactions between Morgan and ENE. Haven't read the detail (as far as I know its not available) but Morgan is suing to collect $1.1 billion. From what I've been piecing together there is more surety exposure out there (companies like Chubb and HIG have already announced #'s. the question is are they reserving enough in the #'s). Except for the ene type surety exposure (I bet there is more than just what went thru JP Morgan) P&C insurers should do well as they have been able to raise prices in this environment. All the best Tim
