>>What's to keep MS from storing some of its hordes of cash (billions) in key banks and then letting the pressure do the work for them???

Good question. Maybe the pressure is being applied in underlying issues, and friends appear to be foes, and foes appear as friends.

Do you know where/ what banks hold some of the M.S. hoards of cash? I have a potential idea, but that it is perhaps hasty rationalization on my part.

It might get real silent here shortly, like yesterday. I thought I had accidentially erased the bookmark.

I think that is exactly what is / was happening in a number of these cases.

Not only depository, but underwriting, supplier credit, etc. relationships. A large company can put tremendous pressure on a bank if needed.
