      Barclays Will Not Pick Up Lehman ETNs
      etns aint lehman assets
      they are liabilities

      etn holders might get a penny or two back

      so be it

      Bush's Speech: Surprisingly Coherent
      "addressed at an audience of millions who have no idea what a bond is" by somebody who doesn't know either
      no wonder
