re MBSes, do you think that writing them off to 25 cents on the dollar is too conservative, and do you think there's a way to profit if so? I don't see how they could be worth 25 cents- do these subprime loans have no claims on the underlying assets?

Seems to me, that if you have to be named after a white rapist, you could do a lot worse than Cassius Marcellus Clay. en.wikipedia.org

A man in Legal Sea Food got very lucky today. G and I were having lunch when this man fainted, and went back in his chair. His companion was holding on to him as the resturant called 911. I got up and looked at him and thought he had a stroke or worse. His friend was asking him to speak, or move as his eyes were open, i sat down. He was not breathing with zero movement. About a minute later i got up again and gave him a heimlich , he puked all over my arms but he was now breathing, he is so lucky ,it took another 5 minutes for EMS. He walked out 20 minutes later No resturant staff did a thing but call 911. I did not eat.
