Jetlag Posted May 25, 2012 Report Posted May 25, 2012 Sweet! http://www.zerohedge... drops to zero) I'd check my sources if I was running a site like zerocred... The fact that zerocred picked this up from me started to make me doubt myself! Upon further inspection I've found that the 35th bank run held by the 5th Turd Bank in Michigan (I shat you knot!) is skewing results! http://www.53riverbankrun.com/ I won't comment on the name picking for this event Just look up the results for the last 30 days http://www.google.co...date=mtd&sort=0 And I guess that also explains a seasonal spike in May in every year. I was intrigued by that spike, but because I'm just posting on a message board for fun and not making frontlines on a financial site/blog... I didn't look into it any further. People are searching for "bank run" but not as dramatically as google trends graph purports... at least to what concerns real "bank runs" instead of athletic events.

Trader Joe Posted May 25, 2012 Report Posted May 25, 2012 The SEC and MMF Holdbacks At first it's a seemingly inconsequential 3-5% that's held back....from that point forward it becomes just a matter of moving the goal posts a little at a time, until it the inverse happens, and you can only access 3-5% __________________ At issue is Schapiro's plan to allow investors to redeem only 95% to 97% of their holdings at once, with the rest payable after 30 days. The fund industry has resisted the 30-day rule, saying it would effectively kill their businesses because investors will go elsewhere if they don't have immediate access to their money. http://www.efinancialnews.com/story/2012-05-25/money-funds-open-to-a-deal-with-sec?mod=sectionheadlines-home-AM

Trader Joe Posted May 25, 2012 Report Posted May 25, 2012 Just sayin'... Leroy Schecter, chairman of steel manufacturing company Marino/Ware Industries, has put his Miami Beach, Fla., home on the market for $45 million. He listed the home about four years ago, most recently asking $35 million, then took it off the market. Nelson Gonzalez of Esslinger-Wooten-Maxwell Realtors, the listing broker, says the price is higher because of the unprecedented number of high-end sales on the island in recent months. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304707604577422413083410798.html?mod=WSJ_RealEstate_LEADTopNews
