I just love it, your recent line, "Weird stories are the currency of the market and get passed around immediately". America you gotta love it, Clinton, the market, everything. I see Monica doing a kind of Jane Fonda work out video. The only question is how many units will she do? This isn't a pun. My best Henry, Clark

Henry hello today. I wonder for the thread can you revisit the Continental Illinois crisis of the 1980 and tell us what derivative instruments were affected, what the total might have been, what the derivative instruments outstanding were? ... a bit of preamble for people here who don't know that Continental Illionos isn't an airline. Perhaps. I am particularly interested in your take on this as military historian and in the time frames involved in the Continental Illinois crisis. It seems to me that only military analogies are appropriate in the rescue operation that waged over this bank. Hope you are well and thriving. Clark
