“Capital markets stop panicking when officials start panicking” – Michael Hartnett

Will someone please get rid of this ignorant walking catastrophe.
I hope this evening’s news isn’t about a bank holiday.

You mean to tell us, we the ignorant little peasants, that our great, omniscient and all-powerful lords and ladies of international banking and international finance totally failed to see the great banking collapse coming?

Hell, they planned the damned thing.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.”
― Frank Zappa

Might be a good time to review Grahm’s Killhouse rules.
The ol’ Quayle caterwaul again-“The bank runs are coming! The bank runs are coming!” Nevertheless, keeping money in the bank is a very risky endeavor and should probably be avoided at all costs.
