G'morning, E4E
Despite the news, it really IS a lovely, sunny, bit chilly but nice morning. This is going to be a really long comment - please don't shoot me?
I'm an accountant, but not heavily into investment/fund accounting, so I've been doing a bit of rooting around to see if there was anything I could dig up to help ease your mind about the financial markets and banking problems.
I don't know if this will help - but it is info I've gathered from other accountants and some folks I know who are investment-savvy.
When these banks are being grabbed by the Feds and sold to other banks, what is being sold is their ASSETS only. The good news for you and me is that your landlord's and my mortgages are considered ASSETS. (Accounts Receivable counts as an asset, and mortgages are "receivables" to the holding bank.) That means that the folks with mortgages from WaMu will probably get notices soon to start making their payments to Chase &etc.
As long as we keep current with our payments, we won't be forclosed upon. They can't raise our rates unless we have an adjustable rate mortgage. Mine is 30 yr fixed, so I'm ok there - you'd have to ask your landlord if his is fixed or adjustable.
The people who lose on these bank closures are the folks who invested in the banks. My boss has lost quite a bit, as he had money invested in Wachovia and WaMu. Not enough to break him, but it's put a dent in his portfolio. Shares of stock are considered "liabilities" to the bank or company that issues them, so the banks that buy the assets do NOT buy the stock.
Confusing? Yup. Reassuring? A little bit. If your savings are FDIC protected, and you keep making your payments, my financial gurus say you're probably going to survive ok. May pinch a bit, but it will be ok.
Deep "cleaning" breaths?
Oh Sew...
thank you...I have been worried about exactly what you researched....thank you...I am very grateful that you took the time to explain that....and you explained it in a way that my nurse brain can wrap my head around....and yes, deep breath....
6-6 is onto something. That Frost-Nixon movie looks extremely interesting. I remember it well. Nixon tapped & danced & obfuscated & verbally outdid Frost, but Frost stuck in there & showed us all what Nixon really was. He kept asking Mixon if he would apologize. I was waiting on the edge of my seat for that. Nixon said, NEVER! Aaaah, it was a sublime moment. I'm sure the universe would've exploded if he'd said he was sorry. As it is, we all got to see the miserable prick for what he was.
DK::
I remember it too...I think we did not see ALL of it either...I think Rob is right..it does look better..he wants to make a Movie about Bush one day- once ALL the Facts are out...in the future..
Ah yes, I remember it well. Frost v Nixon. I so wanted Nixon prosecuted and JAILED! Fat fecking chance. I am looking forward to W. I'm kind of an Oliver Stone fan. He's uneven, but has his heart in the right place.
Suemouse gives great information. That was very informative.
Now, to get to a recipe problem. I NEED to make zucchini bread. I was sure I had several recipes, but no. I have none. Could you point me in the right direction? I want to use raisons and walnuts. I'm thinking you are the go to woman for a sinfully good zucchini bread recipe. Sorry if this seems frivolous considering the CRISIS IN THE ECONOMY.
Utah::
I am on it- I actually have some zuchini reciepes....get back to you in a bit here...thanks : -)
It would be a mistake to be soft on Palin. Snarky types don't respond to softness.
The Dems are allowing and supporting tax cuts with the bailout. It is supported by both candidates.
If some bailout isn't passed, the world will go into recession. If it is, we'll see stagflation.
I know you're worried about your bank so I'm hoping for the best. You're beautiful little have cannot be uprooted it simply cannot. UNLESS..you feel it's time and you move out of state..I'm rooting for you (the not losing your apartment one, the state one is according to planet alignments and I have no interstellar experience..(although from my house I CAN see the stars[g])
hugs
Ingrid
Renegade::
what a mess eh? damned if we do , damned if we don't....geeezus....this is a case of GREED Run-A-Muck....the Dominoes are already tumbling abroad in Asia, Australia and Europe...
You are so right- Palin does not deserve ANY softness. and I think Iffill will test her sorely- good...
Thank you dear Ingrid...thank you so much...yup;...let's check those Stars....

some news for music fans- esp Vermont ( hey mandt??)
No Phish tale: Jamband announces 3 shows, more
By JOHN CURRAN – 1 hour ago
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Those reunion rumors weren't just cut bait: Four years after disbanding, the time seems right to Phish.
The Vermont-bred foursome on Wednesday announced three concert dates next March in Hampton, Va., a longtime favorite venue for the band and its fiercely loyal fans. Other 2009 dates will be announced later, according to a notice posted on the band's Web site.
Ambrosia Healy, a spokeswoman for the band, confirmed in a news release the dates of March 6, March 7 and March 8, 2009, at the Hampton Coliseum. She said band members weren't available for interviews Wednesday.
HEY, I just happened to see on DISHNET (my satellite carrier), a new channel devoted to Barack Obama's Plan for America:
Dishnet Channel 5890
It's located in the block of music channels. Wow, this is cool, especially since the news tends to show complete McC speeches but only snippets of Obama. So far, it's just him talking about the bailout. It feels like he's right in my living room talking to me one-on-one! I don't know if other satellite and/or cable tv have also set him up a special channel.
WOW very very cool DK I will post about it tonight..
( damnit I wish I had DISH...hmmm,maybe I will call the cable folks and ask...)
thank you...
9:17 PM LIVE Senate VOTE on Newest "Bailout " Proposal (440 pages)...any second.....

74-25, the bill is passed. Or technically, the amendment is agreed to. Now that the amendment is agreed to, they'll vote on passing the bill as amended, which means it's pretty much the exact same vote, as the Majority Leader said.
