If something happens in NYC, SYNX will do a lot better than the 51% it pulled today. As always, they are junk till they ain't.

The attacks in India could be an indicator of things to come, a starting point so to speak. Think of the rule of 3's. So, dust off the entire security dog list, and we can talk about what is valid in these times and what is not. I can anticipate that 'aha' moments will occur, I just can't predict exactly when they will happen or what they will be. Again, the Black Swan is a must read. 'For example, those Long-Term Capital guys made tons of money, then when their system failed, I assume they didn't actually go broke. They have an incentive to ignore those black swans, since others will pick up the tab when they fail'

Buddy, have you seen this?> Milwaukee neighborhoods could print own money 2 neighborhoods consider printing own currency for exclusive use in local stores By Erika Slife Tribune reporter December 3, 2008 They may be talking funny money, but it's not funny business. Residents from the Milwaukee neighborhoods of Riverwest and East Side are scheduled to meet Wednesday to discuss printing their own money. The idea is that the local cash could be used at neighborhood stores and businesses, thus encouraging local spending. The result, supporters hope, would be a bustling local economy, even as the rest of the nation deals with a recession. "You have all these people who have local currency, and they're going to spend it at local stores," said Sura Faraj, a community organizer who is helping spearhead the plan. "They can't spend it at the Wal-Mart or the Home Depot, but they can spend it at their local hardware store or their local grocery store." Incentives could be used to entice consumers into using the new money. For example, perhaps they could trade $100 U.S. for $110 local, essentially netting them a 10 percent discount at participating stores. It's not a new concept—experts estimate there are at least 2,000 local currencies all over the world—but it is a practice that tends to burgeon during economic downturns. During the Great Depression, scores of communities relied on their own currencies. And it's completely legal. As long as communities don't create coins, or print bills that resemble federal dollars, organizations are free to produce their own greenbacks—and they'd don't even have to be green. In Wisconsin, could that mean dough that looks like cheese? chicagotribune.com (wow, perhaps too much cheese)
