Canada rated worlds soundest bank system: survey | U.S. | Reuters Well, if this doesn’t add insult to injury. Now the Canadians have one more thing to gloat about. Meanwhile we look like a Banana Republic.
CANBERRA Reuters – Canada has the worlds soundest banking system, closely followed by Sweden, Luxembourg and Australia, a survey by the World Economic Forum has found as financial crisis and bank failures shake world markets.
But Britain, which once ranked in the top five, has slipped to 44th place behind El Salvador and Peru, after a 50 billion pound $86.5 billion pledge this week by the government to bolster bank balance sheets.
The United States, where some of Wall Streets biggest financial names have collapsed in recent weeks, rated only 40, just behind Germany at 39, and smaller states such as Barbados, Estonia and even Namibia, in southern Africa.
#60 Of course you’re right, in hindsight.
I bought the 2003 block for just under $16 pre-split so I feel AAPL owes me nothing. I haven’t bet the farm on it or anything – it’s certainly not the core of my investments these days which is in really boring stuff.
Smart? Probably not. That one is a hobby stock and I still like them.
#58 – you may think we’re talking about the same person, but I can assure you…we are not.
Named, don’t get specific or else men dressed in black will come and erase your memory.

You are too biased or too stupid to understand the history of the debacle, which is widely available. Ignorance is bliss.
