dale,, I read somewhere that about a year ago that LTCM, paid out 2.25 billion (?),, saying they could not find any good places to put the money... I was left with the impression that plenty was still left.. russell

Hi Dale; I can't find any info on LTCM, other than what we hear in the news. They say it was a hedge fund, but if so it was well in the shadows and out of sight from the public until this fiasco. Was or is it in any way connected to the Japanese Long Term Bank ? The entire thing looks fishy and I suspect we are not yet getting the truth about this. I don't know what to believe , but this is the type of clandestine operations in the market that for some reason GreenSpam and friends wish to leave unregulated while stifling investigations by the SEC and Congress into them.
