    Market them as "Legacy" rather than "Toxic" - they still are way to complex to diligence quickly and are more than likely "Worth Less" than their "Book Value" (if anything at all).

    Using Tax Payer Monies To "Back Stop" Losses On This Crap Is Criminal. Bad Bets Need To Burn !!!

    I fear that the "Regulation" that is coming will be authored by those subject to the regulation and handed to our "Purchased Representatives", not for review but for passage. "Shadow Banking" has turned out to be way too lucrative for meddlesome regulation.

    Case In Point - Review the Savings And Loan Debacle and Enron. Their structure is the same as our current fiasco - only the names of the "Instruments" have changed.

    I think you need to do something that our representatives did not -> READ THE BILL THAT HAS PASSED !!!

    Reality Will Be Reality Weather believed In Or Not.

    To Assume Benevolence Is Foolish.

    Power Given is not So Easily Taken Back.

    Beware that devils may occupy the seats you intended for Angels.
