<<<<<.I don't care if Asia reverts back to the Stone Age.... ..actually the worse it gets over there the more likely that u.s. banks will buy up their weaker asian competition for pennies on the dollar. do you know what that means? it means that the yanks will bring ecommerce and ebanking to asia faster than we had imagined. ......so, just for fun, bought a bit of citicorp when it dropped last week. the stock will be weak for a while but they will buy a bunch of weak banks and in 1-2 years will be rich, indeed. <<<<<< To date, CheckFree has contracts for home banking and bill payment transaction processing for 284 financial institutions, including 23 of the top 25 and 35 of the top 50 banks in the country .........and in 2 years they will be in asia......as you say: heh heh
