The mortgage meltdown caused by the latest bubble of greed has taken out Lehman Bros bank and Merrill Lynch is being bought out by Bank of America. No big surprise, Wall St. is tanking. BUT..."they" say there's no reason to panic, 98% of the banks are solvent. But what if the 2% of banks that fail have a disproportionate amount of the money? I think there is a lot of money being stashed in mattresses and empty mason jars about now. I don't even want to look at my 401(k). Ugh.
