just in in-tray, a reminder that volcker changes nothing Reckon anyone will ask Volcker about his role in the Conti Illinois bailout? I almost lost my job as a risk arb,shorting the worthless pfd stock of a bankrupt bank v. being long the sr. debt which m-t-m still had some value. Bingo,Volcker leads a bailout wherein ALL parties (re AIG) got par.His response to Congress under oath: "It's what the Fed was originally designed and set up to do". Nothing has changed since 1914. The USA is not managed by its elected officials.
