X-Message-Number: 31056 From: Mark Plus <> Subject: Alcor's emergency financial plans Date: Sun, 14 Sep 2008 18:57:00 -0700 I'd like to know how Alcor, at least, will protect its assets (sports bar investments aside) if the banks it does business with just seize up and die some Friday afternoon. We know that a rough beast, its hour come round at last, slouches towards Wall Street to be born when the pinstripes sacrifice a Sunday for emergency trading. You can almost smell the soiled underwear on the people talking on CNBC this early Sunday evening as I type this. "Around 2010 the world will be at a new orbit in history. . . Life expectancy will be indefinite. Disease and disability will nonexist. Death wll be rare and accidental -- but not permanent. We will continuously jettison our obsolescence and grow younger." F.M. Esfandiary, "Up-Wing Priorities" (1981). Mark Plus _________________________________________________________________ Get more out of the Web.
