ParticipantCMcG,
That’s because nobody has any money left.
But really, the BofA near me is usually empty, and I know I do all my banking online or at the ATM. I don’t see how one would notice how well business is doing by looking at traffic when the branches have done everything possible to keep you from going to the branch office.-one muggle

Participantfalcon,
Seriously!?
You may as well ask why businesses get a better tax deal than individuals and why brokers make more money from the 401k system than the participants. While on that topic, ever wonder why you don’t get to deduct those 401k contributions, or medical spending accounts, or dependent care spending accounts?
And for those of you ready to fire off a reply about how you get to deduct yours, take a minute. Does it contribute to your itemized deduction? Rather than let you take a deduction, which would help non-mortgage holders surpass the standard deduction limit, thus reaping the benefit of itemized deductions, you sign a Salary Reduction agreement, where your employer reduces your salary by whatever amount, and then puts it into your 401k, or gives it to a private company to hold until you file the appropriate dependent-care or medical reimbursement form–all the while earning interest on that money and keeping it if you don’t file acceptable claims in time.Why not just let you write it off (deduct it)? Wouldn’t that help you more? I suggest you call your lobbyist. =^o
Unfortunately Neo, realizing you are being screwed is the easy part. Red Pill, Blue Pill time my friend.

Participantsdduuuude,
Good stuff. Sounds wildly nonlinear. I guess that’s why the trader’s were worried–computer models aren’t very good at nonlinear predictions.
Anyone know: If this happened long term, would it bring deflation?

Participantnsr,
Dean sure is going to be an ugly one for the area:
http://www.accuweather.com/news-top-headline.asp?partner=accuweather&traveler=0But don’t you think the traders have already factored that in? Because if you think they haven’t, first short them, then when it hits the fan, fire them!
Really, if Dean gets bigger than expected things would get really interesting, but unlike Katrina the Gulf isn’t unusually warm so far this year.
Given Katrina, I would guess (and only guess) that the risk is overreaction, rather than under.-one muggle

ParticipantFSD,
Not surprised they did it, but surprised they did it almost immediately after saying they would only do it in the event of a calamity (Poole I think).
The change of direction was expected, but the magnitude of the delta-V was not.-one muggle
