Slider. <have the ear of Bush>? That's not a trick question, is it?<g> We fwiw, methinkin' for a good long time that our pals in Rubin/Greenpump & dump, et al have owned the eyes, ears and hearts of Dodge D.C. for MANY Moons, ke-mo sah-bee. Call it the dubious distinction of having an educational background in Cultural History vs standard issue conditioning of the MBA & CPA types that pack the big street houses. An accident, ironic in the extreme. An unconventional education from the streets inbred prespective was why - albeit as a confirmed capitalist to this day - I was very fortunate to recognize the ethical nightmare in it's early stages over 20 yrs ago, and simply walked away from the <sell side> in this biz. Whodathunk that even as a financial and political conservative - then and in the years since - that WS revealed itself to be even worst than I thought it was when I was a liberal hippie back in the 1960s!!!???? But until recently? Only a handful of people were able to see the devastating threat to our financial and political freedoms that the massive corruption machine aka the D.C./W.S. shuttle gang poses. The biggest risk IMHO is a complete colonic irrigation clean out of this corrupt mess will give the left exactly the leverage it needs with public opinion to syphon off even more of our money and freedom via a further huge increase in an already bloated and ineffective government that is unaccountable because 95% of the people on it's payroll CAN'T be fired!! We are truly caught in a vise between the left and the right of an increasingly predatory & self serving ruling elite. This is still the best country in the world. But the kind of historical mega trends that always drive a dominant world power (athough a declining one, with a fiat currency) cause me serious doubts that it will continue that to be the best place for my children. All JMVVHO, of course. And I'm gone for the day. Have a great weekend. Best regards, Isopatch

a bailout of JPMorgo would require similar bailouts Citibank Goldman Sux Morgan Stanley Banc of America and how many regionals (not into gold game) are in trouble? I see the whole bunch in trouble simultaneously in upcoming months each is bail-able, but not the entire gang this will end up as the biggest Chapter 13 BK in History RESTRUCTURE the remaining question comes to ... WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NAKED GOLD/SILVER SHORT CONTRACTS ? e.g. futures, puts, swaps, exotics gauranteed to involve some workouts next up on the BUTCHER BLOCK: insurance companies they are staving off their day of reckoning on massive losses from WTC claims, from investment accounts, from lawsuits they have only a couple months left, from what I hear / jim
