Dammit. It's up to 7 banks now. One of them in Illinois. First Dupage Bank. That's hitting close to home.

Also....

2005, Alan Greenspan: "We can guarantee cash, but we cannot guarantee purchasing power."

That right there is key! and has been key ever since the FDIC started.

You guys should read the posts in tickerforum...on that article just posted by FireJack.  I warn you now...you will not sleep tonight.



You're either referring to posts that have been removed from that specific article or to posts in this thread:

http://tickerforum.org/cgi-ticker/akcs-www?post=115531

The "reassuring" video alone makes me want to close my checking account.

As one commenter there said:

This is exactly the kind of calming government influence propoganda video that I always got in my mind as a little boy that I would see, a split second before the nuke landed in my back yard.

Time to panic. It's here.



I love how, in the beginning of the video, she says that our money is 'absolutely safe' while at the same time shaking her head 'no.'

No one else metioned it, so I will.  Total cost to the FDIC of these seven failures is estimated to be about $358 million. 

Goddam, that's "walking around" bailout money these days.   Grin

this forum...latoc...is my first love...and I hesitate to encourage reading that is not here...but you have to read what people study everyday.....just like this group loves the peak oil message...those guys know what they are talking about in finance and economics...they are changing their underwear...we would be wise to listen

I was trained as a family therapist and one thing we learned is that the body language tells the truth even when the rest of the person is lying.

I didn't read the whole post. SEVEN BANKS WENT DOWN TODAY.. That is a big increase...

I am glad I spent another 200+ dollars on preps last week. Stocked in another 50 cans of tuna fish.. Next on the lineup is more pasta. I have lots of beans and lots of other protiens, but pasta is just good as a filler and I don't have a whole lot of it.

FEAR is in the air(as Seahorse pointed out in another thread).
