I dunno, but banks BK-d and are definitely oversold. I think the concept that all of those are going to zero is out of the question. -g- I guess some new measures are being thoughtfully designed for CFC and ETFC to postpone the inevitable. That, and expiration related profit taking (on puts) BKX could bounce to high 80-s or 90.

<BTW, Bill Richardson is out> I'll call your 1 pile of shit and raise you............ Tony Blair to join JPMorgan: source 27 minutes ago Former British prime minister Tony Blair is expected on Thursday to join U.S. bank JPMorgan Chase & Co Inc (JPM.N) as a senior adviser, according to a person familiar with the situation. JPMorgan declined to comment. The Financial Times in London first reported the move on its Web site, saying it would be the first of a series positions Blair expects to take in the private sector. Blair, a key ally of U.S. President George W. Bush, was replaced last year by Gordon Brown as prime minister amid growing discontent over Great Britain's policy in Iraq. Details of Blair's duties with JPMorgan, the third largest U.S. bank, were not immediately available. Blair's predecessor, John Major, joined a U.S. finance company after leaving 10 Downing Street. After leaving office, Major joined U.S. private equity firm The Carlyle Group in 1998 amid that company's big push into the European market.
