>>I meant none of the major investment/commercial banks. Those three fall outside those categories.
Well, there are only a handful of major investment or commercial banks out there: Citi, GS, MS, BAC, etc
But there are also others like WFC, KEY, etc and countless others.
The fact is, NO ONE knows exactly how much was given to which bank and who has repaid and how much. The Fed has kept it opaque and that is why I support the Ron Paul and Alan Grayson bill to hold the Fed accountable. In fact, that is why we started battling originally when you said “A lot of TARP has been repaid” which is bullsh*T because they have not and no one except for the Fed knows for sure.
Moreover, the treasury bailed out GS in a big way using tax payers money when they paid out fully all the trades that GS did with AIG, without taking one penny of haircut. WTF!
I have a friend who sings loud renditions of Cole Porter when she’s annoyed by the choices of others. Embarrasses the hell out of her son – even though she sings quite well. But it usually works.
Good strategy Snappy, but I’ve given up the Ipod in recognition of my declining hearing (due to too many nights spent in sonic-boom night clubs in my younger days). I’ll have to come up with something soon, ’cause it’s driving me nuts. Even some of the normal-sound-level conversations irk me. Maybe I’m just a miserable old SOB.
>>Just a theory – maybe angry stevieb is a disgruntled ex finance sector employee??
Oh yeah? and which TARP bank do you work for? I know you work for a bank in sales and trading; you haven’t yet told me which one.

But it is very traditional to still be having left-overs 5 days later.
Salad is not a traditional Thanksgiving dish.
Oooops, I added Feta Cheese to the salad. Did I just ethnify it?
For dinner we’re having leftovers from ethnic thanksgiving meal. And for all you WASPs, I’m Americanizing it by making a salad with it.
