Thanks for clamping down. The topic is complicated enough to make it hard follow, even without foolish distractions.

I am trying to understand the implications of these failures to market buyout loans. Just what kind of commitment have the banks made that tried to market these? Can they just back out and let the buyouts fail? Are they legally liable for expenses and any losses suffered by the parties involved?

I admit that I have been waiting for years to read that Morgan has collapsed under the weight of multiple derivative and other obligations. And I admit that I feel that way partly because I know a guy who does not seem terribly bright who has been paid a huge salary for a long time to manage these things. I admit that I have a prejudice against people who wear shirts that cost $200 each.

look at the yen go. all the gamblers' currencies like NZD, BRL, taking it on the chin. NZD taking 300bp swing to the downside against JPY--and this is just after they raised rates to 8.25%. are the housewives and kickboxers all in?
