Opened ETrade this morning to find 'An Important Message to Customers' denying that there is any danger to accounts at ETrade. Amazing that they feel they have to reassure me that: ETRADE is a financially healthy organization. ETRADE has ample liquidity to manage its way through the current credit environment. ETRADE's business fundamentals are firmly on track. ETRADE continues to adhere to our strict discipline with respect to risk mitigation.

I believe CFC's commercial paper problems led to it hitting the 11.5B credit line and also why BOA ponied up $2B. I saw one US Treasury Money Market Fund with over $1B of CFC commercial paper on 7/1/07. This represented 6.5% of the fund (it also had some Bear Stearns repos) and the fund is supposed to be 80% invested in US Treasury or US Treasury backed securities. I have a question into the fund family now as to what gives as I didn't see 1 US Treasury and couldn't determine what might have been backed by the US Treasury.
