Ask Bear Stearns Stockholders About Moral Hazard: Commentary by Caroline Baum March 18 (Bloomberg) -- Minutes after news hit the tape Friday that Bear Stearns Cos. was getting emergency funding from the Federal Reserve, the Wall Street humor mill was busy at work. ``Thank you for calling Buy-a-Bank,'' said an e-mail from a long-time reader. ``Please listen carefully as our menu items have changed. For Mandarin, press 1. For Arabic, press 2. For takeover of Bear Stearns, press 3. For Lehman Brothers, press 4. For any monoline insurer, press 5. To purchase residual assets of defunct hedge funds, please stay on the line and an operator will assist you.'' bloomberg.com

Hope it's not a Swiss Bank - I just bought more Swissie - not that it would make a difference. Will add to Yen, it is probably good to 85. Took first tiny position on SMN on weakness. Can't bring myself to short gold, and certainly not on 2x basis, but may sell a bit to recycle into Yessie.
