Well, it's an interesting day today for those folks (such as myself) in the banking/finance industry in the US. Interesting in that ancient Chinese curse sort of way, of course. While we aren't immediately affected, I'm betting the next year or so will be pretty tight. The will-they-or-won't-they government bailouts (or lack of same) aren't giving ANYONE confidence in the industry as a whole, because no one knows what will be allowed to collapse, what will get saved, and, quite frankly, the whole "safe investment" idea has been reduced to "Treasury bonds".
