Something is troubled with bank of america here in my town near puget sound washington state. , the whole branch did not have bills over 20's. No 50's no 100's.
The teller said people were pulling all their cash out of their accounts and drained them of big bills.
Ever had 5 grand counted to you in 20's? It takes a long while.

Yeah ppl are getting a bit untrusting after the continued lying and
doling out billions to cronies via DC.

It is going to get worse before it gets better and even TPTB say that on TV.

Maybe this should teach those bankers not to lend out more money then they have on hand and demand more money in repayment then is available throughout the whole economy.

This current banking and monetary system is too antiquated for today's world.

Hopefully, if any good can come out of this economic crisis, it will be that credit and monetary reforms will be forced to take place.

Does that list include internet banks? I'm looking for hsbc. I'm tempted to pull all my money out of there. The interest rate is so low and with who knows what going to happen, I might just dig a hole in the ground like my gramps did with his money. He never trusted banks after his dad lost all his money in the 1929 stock crash.

Well potentially this time the twist will be the dollar will collapse.

So saving paper and cotton fibers with ink on it will not feed you.

If you have a LOT of money, consider at least taking a modest
amount and buying a cheap piecemeal survival kit and long shelf
life food.

You do not have to spend a lot, and knowledge is your true saving
grace, you can get a lot of info off the torrents for survival and
other places.

Silver might hold some value, but I think when it gets really bad,
what will matter is Food, Water, Shelter, Medicine, Self Defense.

Also if and when riots break out like they did in LA, they set fires
and a sizeable portion of the city burned.

It will likely not be safe to stay in the cities for that reason,
prepare for possible bugout.

Good Luck to you all !

official list, this one is deduced using approximately
the same formulas.

Even less free market. Why can we speculate against sovereigns and see their debts. But not against banks?

Investors have a right to know.
