    Dating

    Met a woman at a wedding I was in 20 years ago. I asked her what kind of work she did. "I'm a professional gold digger". Umm ok. Later she married John Schneider of Duke boys fame. Guess it worked out for her except for dying from cancer not long ago. Takes all kinds I guess.

    More deposits weren't going to help SVB. Deposits count as a debt on the balance sheet I think. They needed something more on the asset side to meet the regulatory demands of asset/debt ratio after their bond holdings were tanking from rising interest rates. Then when word got out .....

    The Official Guitar Thread

    As much as I hate to say it go to a guitat center and pick up what appeals to you. Dick with them for a while. Then see who plays the kind of music that used that type of guitar.

In 2008 they rapidly got to the point they couldn't sell packaged subprime loans which when you can't see stuff it has no value so to speak.
