Reccesions only just started and already all the banks have packed up and quit.

I see the barter system coming back into fashion soon

Well Kaupthing in Iceland (their other big bank) is now under state control & they've suspended their stock exchange.

So if this whole sitiation is as bad as the media will have us believe, why have I had 3 pre-approved priority loan offers & 4 zero % tranfer/purchases credit card approval letters in 3 days? 

that would make my trips to Barclays more enjoyable,  atleast I'd get something for the cash I normally deposit

Third-biggest single-session point decline leaves Dow industrials 40% below year-ago peak

-678  o -7.33%   this is after they passed the bill and agreed to put money into banks.

So since they started talking about a rescue plan the Dow's lost 20% impressive

IDIOTS!!
