Who is getting bailed out? The government is guaranteeing the funds within the bank so if you had money there it was safe. Now the people who managed the bank and the employees are not so safe. So you think that their performance generated the KILLER bonuses that these banks gave themselves? Guess what no bonus. Oh and the value of the company stocks that they owned? Heck all of that value is worthless paper in your eyes. Purchased in the 30-75$ per share and now trading on the street @ under 10$ I know that a lot of 401-Ks had these banks in their portfolios so those investments are sucking eggs, but then you are either aware of what is happening or your not. So can you elaborate more on this bail out and define pints that I have missed? -- Stephen Russell Sr. Production Systems Programmer Mimeo.com Memphis TN 901.246-0159 --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
