Sorry to say soon to be back on the road again. I thought I was done with the "Grim Reaper" crap for the remainder of my Government career but noooooooooooo!! To quote Pachino...."Everytime I try to get out, they just keep pullin me back in!!":lol: Gettin tough out there for the banks that have been making risky loans and dabbleing in the sub-prime crap. Add to that the general state of the economy and as Willie would sing I'm...."On the road again"!! I did it in the 80's when we had the Agriculture crisis, which was also real estate based by the way. I have personally closed 77 institutions for both the FDIC and RTC and it looks like I am going to put a few more notches in my holster before I get to retire. This time though, it seems like the public has forgotten that with FDIC insured institutions, no one has ever lost a penny of insured deposits. Seems to me people are more unaware than ever. Might just be the new "demographic" mix of our population if you know what I mean. So, keep your eyes on the news and you might just see me.... not in a Yamamoto fishing shirt but a monkey suit padlocking the front door of a bank.
