Vacation Alert

I am hopping on a plane in an hour to take a vacation (although I plan to post regularly next week).  Frequent readers know that when I go on vacation, some sort of banking failure or bailout ordinarily occurs so I thought it would be helpful to give everyone fair warning.  Last time it was Fannie and Freddie.  The time before, it was Bear.  I would've guessed that the FDIC would seize WaMu while I was on my flight, but they did that last night so the low hanging fruit has already been picked.  Rampant speculation is always welcome from readers.  Hope everyone can have a good weekend despite all of the scary news circulating about our financial system.
