The Reserve Bank and Treasury have a little known plan which has been in existence sine world war 2 and used sparingly.

They will allow the dogs to die a natural death in the stampede of the chaos out of the market but preserve the larger ones. BHP won't go down. The Chinese will now wipe up the floor with their money in toto with Tamasek of Singapore thend etermine their positions vis a vis BHP and Rio Tinot. Did I not make that forecast before along with oil dropping back to $80 then rebounding. It will happen.

Lest see ho much more Babock and Brown can fall beofre they admit to being insolvent and calling in a receiver who they have already talked to in ordse that the spoils may be evenly spread amongst 'friends'.
As for the rest of them, "let them eat cake".
