What that means, reports CNNMoney.com, is the end of the era of the Wall Street investment bank, a storied institution that traded stocks and bonds, advised mergers and showered lavish bonuses on executives.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp; &lt;a href="http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/21/news/companies/goldman_morgan/index.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#800080;"&gt;http://money.cnn.com/2008/09/21/news/companies/goldman_morgan/index.htm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;Ok, in addition to buying everyone out, they took Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley off the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;mark&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;et?&amp;nbsp; What do you do if you are a business and over the weekend, the fed steps in and tells you that you can&amp;#39;t do business that way anymore?&amp;nbsp; Instead they want to help you do business and watch over your shoulder as you do business?&amp;nbsp;Why don&amp;#39;t they just&amp;nbsp;federalized them also?&amp;nbsp;They are as good as there anyhow.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;Then at the end of the story, they hint at major banks that are likely to be targets of the Fed.&amp;nbsp; [Wachovia, Morgan Stanley]&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;mso-ansi-language:EN;"&gt;Are we living through the first steps towards the fed taking over our entire financial system and commerce?&amp;nbsp; At what point do they step in and tell us to get in like to get a chip?&amp;nbsp; If you were not aware, there are already companies developing chip technology that would likely be sufficient to also handle commerce.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;font-family:Arial;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s interesting that our military, by direction of President Bush,&amp;nbsp;has&amp;nbsp;been attacking terrorist cells around the world and yet, we&amp;#39;ve had the largest cell in Denver this past week and he&amp;#39;s done nothing about&amp;nbsp;it?&amp;nbsp; Maybe I should join in the impeach Bush retoric since it appears he really is incapable of ridding the world of terrorist.&amp;nbsp; &lt;img src="http://utahpatriots.com/emoticons/emotion-4.gif" alt="Stick out tongue" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;***For those political nuts that try&amp;nbsp;to read into things, this is meant as a complete joke!***&lt;/p&gt;
