Dexia has been under-written by the French and Luxembourg governments, so i'll happily take a friendly tenner that another bank goes under before them. PM me if interested.

Just the biggest bank in the world about five years ago. No-marks really.

I read something about the Bank of America being offline for a few days ...... not sure if there was a run on the Bank?

Cash is dangerous at the moment ...... I'm sleeping on my money under the mattress.
