Heads up. Wachovia was overtaken this morning by FDIC. Citi is going assume and acquire most of the assets.

I have a friend who works

I have a friend who works for them and he just told me last week how safe they were. I hope his job gets transfered over or stays with the remaining wachova.

Déjà vu.

Another sweetheart deal, I'm sure

I heard on Fox Business this morning:

Wachovia's CEO has had the job for a couple of weeks.

I'm sure he still gets his golden parachute, just like the guy who ran WaMu for 21 days.

He's a pal of Paulson.

Are we noticing a pattern yet?

My opinion is that gold is likely to do better than many things in DEFLATION.

Wow...

Unreal...further down the rabbit hole.

Oddly enough...

I had a dream about this last night, seriously! I woke up saying, "Geez, I have got to stop thinking about all of this financial mess!" When you start dreaming about Wachovia falling and you are talking to Bernanke (yeah, he was in it too!) you know you need to take a breather from it!

Holy Poop....

I may not know the truth, but I know when I'm being lied to...

Wasn't citibank bought by a middle eastern country

At least a significant portion ?

There's an ill wind blowing

Citigroup is owned by shareholders

Your information is somewhat incorrect. There are a lot of sovereign wealth funds that own Citi stock - but they didn't "buy" it.
