Happy minutes late b-day.
Gifted FTW! and lol @ ice cream comments.

As flipper said, the field trips where were it was at though.

In elementary school it was kind of small...Memphis Zoo...Planetarium and museum in Jackson, MS..

Middle School= HAWAII in 6th grade!!! But my parents couldn't afford it at the time so I didn't get to go.

7th grade was Chicago...That was a fun trip..Throwing pennies out of our 4th floor window down to a busy intersection hitting cars and people....Saw 2 wrecks at that intersection...My mom kept us stocked up on change, gotta love her... Girl in the hotel room next us had her older brother chaperoning. He threw toilet paper out the window in the rain and it was sticking on cars. lmfao... Everybody making fun of our accents was FTL though.

I was hoping the other guy would keep on but he didn't. I didn't really know if you were trying to troll or being serious though.

You go ahead. Its always funny when your trolling a thread near that nature.

Nope, just trolling. I only brought your name into it to make it look like serial business.

Three women were in the waiting room of a gynaecologist, and each of them was knitting a sweater for their baby-to-be. The first one stopped and took a pill.

"What was that?" The others asked her.

"Oh, it was Vitamin C - I want my baby to be healthy." A few minutes later, another woman took a pill.

"What was that?" the others asked.

"Oh, it was iron - I want my baby to be big and strong." They continued knitting. Finally the third woman took a pill.

"What was that?" the others asked her.

"It was Thalidomide," she said, "I just can't get the arms right on this fucking sweater!"

lol @ Iam thinking he knows finance now.

Oh hell to the know. I know I don't even know the tip of the iceberg. However, the more I learn the more I start to despise you financial fucks.

Wanting to engage in the discussion does not equal knowing. I am always more than willing to be corrected.

There is a good reason why it's better for the bank to buy a jet versus loan the money. Until someone in the government who understands how the financial system works from a regulatory perspective, many more lols will be had.

Please try to explain this then. I will admit I don't know what the best thing to do with the money is, however I don't understand Jets, remodeled offices, expensive toilets and increased bonuses.

I am actually working on a business plan that involves this....right now the market for private jets is low. you can buy a jet for relatively cheap and the resale between 8 and 24 months is ~3 times the purchase value.

It runs on a cycle that spans about 4-5 years. So if they buy now, they can turn around and sell that 4 or 5 year old jet for a minimum of 2x profit

No offense, but your place to respond to me is in the JET thread. You are not CT. I thank you for your take on it though, but I still think that is hogwash. I understand somethings will/may appreciate. The Jet is definitely more understandable than the office remodel, toilet and increased early bonuses, but I still don't buy that as a primary motivating factor. Of course I am from the thinking that they should have been left to crash thoroughly.

If you wanted an intelligent response in the jet thread, then you should have posted the above question in the jet thread.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

When a bank makes a loan, it has to have a certain amount of cash to absorb possible losses on a loan. It doesn't have to be cash...other assets will do (such as a jet), but I prefer cash in my analysis because it is the most liquid. Currently, banks have to have 8% of the assets in cash. So, if a bank had $100 in assets the maximum amount of loan is $92 and $8 to back up the loans.
Well, if the value of the loans decrease, they must have more cash to back up the lossess. Say the value of the loans decrease to $60, they now have negative cash. As the loan values continued to be wrote down, cash becomes exhausted. Now when the govt gave the banks money, it went to sure up the balance sheet. Because when banks fail to have enough reserves, the FDIC can pull a kick-door. Not only that, you have other issues with credit default swaps and short selling. Once a bank looks wounded, financial institutions begin ciricling the wagon trying to kill it. First, people quit buying the commercial paper then the banks more or less agree to not loan the bank more money, then people short sell to make the CDS happen. (Think of it like this...your wife takes out a $1MM insurance policy on John Doe, then you shoot John Doe. Different "arms" of the same financial institution work together to cripple a bank. See Leahman Brothers and Bear Stearns. It was like a scene of lions killing a hippo on National Geographic)

So, the money MUST go to securing capitalization. The better choice would have been to do what they said they where going to do....buy the bad loans. Buying the bad loans artificially inflates the value of the loans, but prevents the banks from going under.

I remember reading, maybe 2-3 years ago, a nice post by you about managing our money. You claimed idle money is useless. Saving most of our money was a fools strategy. Well right now it looks like a **** good idea to start digging some holes to put cash in
