bluec2,

I don't like what's transpiring just as much as every one else.
As for the realestate parallel, I'd liken it more to being unable to pay the mortgage on time through bad management and having the bank foreclose...at least our scenario won't leave us with a negative equity debt.....

Bitter pills taste like s@&#....but something is better than nothing....this is a fickle game and the rules are the problem..the regulatory body is the one that should be taken to task for not closing loopholes that seem to allow circumvention of FIRB rules by way of clever corporate play...

Again the above is only an opinion not intended to offend and without predjudice.....
