No, but, per Richard Russell, I did move most of my rather large cash position from money market funds having a lot of corporate paper (presumably including some number of toxic CDOs) into MMFs utilizing US Treasuries only, at a cost of 1%/year less interest income. Not that I expect any Schwab or Fidelity MMF to fail, but just to be safe, will wait for the SIV/CDO smoke to clear.

however, his message has one major affect on share prices for the very simple reason that if more people call in their share certificates from the brokerages, the "tradeable float" supply decreases, which also decreases the availability of shares to short...

the bottom line is that less supply coupled with high demand = higher prices
