more derivative shuffling and shenanigans, a quote from the article:
Bank of America is shifting derivatives in its Merrill investment banking unit to its depository arm, which has access to the Fed discount window and is protected by the FDIC.
This means that the investment bank's European derivatives exposure is now backstopped by U.S. taxpayers.

Sorry if I sound pushy but how did you amass enough money to stop working at 39? Even if I wanted to stop working I can't, I have things to buy and support. I do have a family and mortgage and we burn through money like it was paper LOL!
i just saved and made some good investments, the bulk of my savings came from home depot. worked there for only 3 years through the dot com run up and made close to 100K with company stock.
