The FDIC has $50 billion to cover $1 Trillion.

There are going to be bank runs when everyone realizes this is a big ponzi scam. The history books and the numbers guarantee it.

A lot of people are going to lose everything. With the numbers the way they are, Black Thursday 1929 will look like a walk in the park IMO.

Well that's one bank. One big bank.

Glad I don't have any accounts with any banks these days. I still don't have any worries about the banks failing though. Even if they do we will live on and people with nothing to lose are more free anyway. Fuck it, take it all.

What? You don't think they'd tell us exactly when they are going to take control?

Probably they are going to do it April 10 just to mess with our morale.

And isn't April 1 April fools day?

Um? How about you chill out Mr. Bojangles? No one said "this is happening April 1st OMG", Citigroup said that starting April 1st, they reserve the right to do this at their discretion. Does that mean it will be April 1st? No. Of course not. Probably months down the line, but we'll see.

You don't think the feds handing down this order is at least noteworthy?

Get real, dude.

So what's the deal, Mr. B? Got a problem with me talking about real fucking news?

http://www.businessinsider.com/citigroup-warns-customers-it-may-refuse-to-allow-withdrawals-2010-2

"Effective April 1, 2010, we reserve the right to require (7) days advance notice before permitting a withdrawal from all checking accounts. While we do not currently exercise this right and have not exercised it in the past, we are required by law to notify you of this change," Citigroup said on statements received by customers all over the country."

You're right, nothing's changed at all! That's why they made the announcement..

Pfft. :jerkit::drum:

This is supposedly just to comply with Federal regulation having recently switched back to standard FDIC coverage, but I dunno. Seems fishy.
 
Feds ordered a 7 day restriction on bank withdrawals, starting April 1st.

Get ready, everyone.

Did you read your article?

it was a mistake on Citigroup to send out that info nationwide as it was only meant for the state of texas as texas already has this in place.

"What's going on? It seems that this is something of an error. The seven day notice policy only applies to customers in Texas, Ira Stoll reports at The Future of Capitalism. It was accidentally included on customer statements nationwide."

Did you read it? The whole thing, or just enough to feel as though I've been discredited? It's a fresh story, so there is some conflicting information...

UPDATE: According to Stoll, Citi issued a statement saying that it has been required to make this change by Federal regulations--and it no longer sounds like it's limited to Texas:

Update: Citibank has now released the following statement by way of explanation: "When Citibank moved to unlimited FDIC coverage in 2009, we had to reclassify many checking accounts to allow for immediate withdrawals in order to ensure all customers qualified for the additional coverage. When we moved back to standard FDIC coverage with most major banks in 2010, Citibank decided to reclassify those accounts back to make them eligible again for promotional incentives. To do so, Federal Reserve Reg D requires these accounts, called NOW accounts, to reserve the right to require a 7-day notice of withdrawal. We recently communicated this technical requirement to our customers. However, we have never exercised this right and have no plans to do so in the future."

We'll see if they do it or not, it's going to be tense to watch.

Articles like this in and of themselves are enough to create runs on banks. There is so little confidence in our economy/banking system right now, that it's a disaster waiting to happen.

$50 billion, to cover $1 trillion. That's all I'm saying.

Update: I don't know alot about Federal Banking regulations, so I looked up Federal Reserve Regulation D, the one supposedly responsible for this 7 day policy, but couldn't find anything having to do with account withdrawals. Perhaps this is a recent amendment they are adhering to? If anyone knows more than I do on this one, I'd love to hear what you have to say.

Go read about failed states and the "decent into chaos." Pay particular attention to Germany WWI and WWII and mentality of the people living during those times.

This is all going to take place over the next 5-6 years. It's such a slow process that's it has a normalizing effect.

The world is not going to end tomorrow. The world is not going to end at all. The economic and political reality of the globe is changing quickly though. If you believe everything is fine and dandy and we are all going to be OK, then I submit it is you who will most likely be left holding the "fools gold" when the big money jumps ship.

Yea, unfortunately Mr. B jumped to the conclusion that that was what I was hinting at...

Projection, plain and simple.

Things are gonna get worse before they get better, though.

From Forbes Magazine

The Coming Dollar Collapse
Matthew Craft
Inflation fears have many predicting a large dollar drop. One Federated portfolio manager is prepared.

Budget busting government spending, trillions in Treasury debt and the lowest interest rates on record have many worried about inflation and the damage it could inflict on the dollar once the global economy recovers. Ihab Salib, who oversees $3.5 billion in bond funds at Federated Investors in Pittsburgh, has already started laying his bets.

Learn the basics of the inflation and hyper-inflation due to monetizing debt.

Not what the US says inflation is that leaves out fuel, food, and energy lol. Propaganda numbers.

This is from the Huffington Post.

Commercial Real Estate Crash Would Cripple U.S. Banks

Pennsylvania realtor and U.S. National Association of Realtors official James Helsel joined with other concerned parties in meeting with a congressional committee last week, conveying a collective message that was saturated with gloom and doom. A commercial real estate implosion has been predicted for months by many observers, including this writer. There is now mounting evidence that this sector of the economy is indeed in the grips of a severe contraction, with all indicators pointing to an accelerating price deflation spiral over a period that may extend to several years.
1+1=2

The same casino gambling derivative game that happened in the residential market took place in the commercial sector. Especially, between 2005-2008 where many commercial properties where refinaced to these new AWESOME loans. Unfortunately there is no money to pay these loans. The commercial collapse is the end game.

One or two of these events happening equates to an isolated economic event. All of them happening at once equals Game Over.
