That's the company that holds the mortgage on our house. They just called earlier this week (they call about once a year) to find out if we were interested in refinancing our mortgage. I wonder what will happen to us now....

Frankly I think that if someone huge were to completely go under that might be a good lesson from this and mass stupidity that led to most of these problems.

This makes me never want to have more than $100,000 in any one particular bank (or $250,000 in an IRA.) Not that that's a danger right now, but, you know.

I think the whole fractional reserve fiat currency system is in danger of collapsing, especially as the 500+ trillion derivatives market unfolds. Good luck, all!

Yeah, since we have a good history, I'm sure someone will be happy to buy our loan. I just hope we don't end up being sold to the stagecoach again (they screwed stuff up when they bought the original loan for our house).
