  1. Mind providing an explanation?
     
  2. Essentially the banks do not have enough cash to cover their depositors. They have negative reserves. As far as I can tell this hasn't happened for...oh...I don't know, 50 or so years?

    The question is - what do you do with your money if you cannot trust a bank?
     
  3. thx for the rapid response, watching now
     
  4. There you have it. Nothing to fear :)
     
  5. I would advise people to buy XLF puts and then go withdrawal their funds from the bank. Profitable strategy.
     
  6. Ever hear of the FDIC ?
     
  7. No, pray tell! What is that??

    Duh! If you think that's a comfort to the majority of investors, then you should be starting your own talkshow with Day7793.
     
  8. Deposit your money with a Las Vegas casino.
