ParticipantPatientrenter, I assume you are referring to Iceland. For US citizens, they may feel safer with keeping everything in their own back yard, but many foreign residents, expats, migrant workers etc, may prefer to spread the risk by using resources more familiar to them. While a bank in Timbuktu might seem bizarre to some, it might have appeal to others who see banks collapsing everywhere around them in the US. However, since the virus has drifted across the oceans, you might ask is anywhere safe? Is a government guarantee any safer than the FDIC, which is equally ill-equipped for a major collapse? I guess the answer is you stick with what you know.

ParticipantSometimes happens. I presume it’s coming into the US? Best banks for this are the ones that are doing it all the time. I had to show a small branch office of WaMu how to do a wire transfer simply because nobody had ever done one before, and had never heard of a Swift code.

“My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. [b]I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.[/b]”
[/quote]As I said before, this is Marxist at its core. Robin Hood would be proud of his social agenda.[/quote]
If he did say that, then perhaps JLP was right, and he ought to choose his words a little more carefully, given the McCain campaign’s desperate rummaging for cracks in the polished veneer. However, even if he did make a remark that could be construed as Marx’ redistribution of wealth tenet, Obama is about as much a Marxist as Bush is a Frenchman.
