[15:21] {Threei}  Give a man a match, and he'll be warm for a minute, but set him on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life
[15:22] {RonS} ...ya gotta luv the gallows humor of market participants:  Now might be a good time for $BAC to try that 1 for 10 reverse split, ya know - before Bruce Berkowitz eats a bottle of pills
