Boats take vast sums of money to buy, or just sit there rotting away
at the $600/month marina slip. In order to HAVE boats, some boaters
have invested vast sums of money in securities with various,
previously-stable, banking institutions now on the verge of collapse.

The solvency of the bank the "Boat Fund" is stored in is VERY on-topic
to a discussion about boat....unless you're Donald Trump and sold your
little house in Florida for $95,000,000 this morning to one of the
Russian billionaires. Don wanted $120,000,000 but had to take less to
dump it.

By the way, the REAL ESTATE TAXES on Don's old house was quoted on the
radio at $16,830,000 PER YEAR....as of 2006. A "small tax increase"
could put the Russian's property taxes above the GDP of several small
African countries!

I think he screwed up....


We don't keep any significant liquid assets in any U.S. financial
institutions.
Harry, we all know you don't have any significant liquid assets, so it
is very easy for you to keep them out of US financial institutions.

I was surprised no one else picked up on that.


Snerk...yeah, that's the ticket. Maybe I should go buy a travel trailer
I'll rarely use. I was down at the marina for a little while yesterday,
Herring, doing a bit of maintenance work. Have you had that new boat of
yours in the Bay yet?

Oh...and Reggie? The guy who lives in Hotlanta and spends his offtime
sleeping on a bubble boat in the middle of a receding inland lake? Yeah.
That's what I want to do.

You should get a travel trailer that you will rarely use. You can park it
next to the little boat you rarely use. You'll at least have a place to take
your afternoon nap and a convenient place to go when you want a snack or
need to take a whiz. How many hours did you put on your last boat? 15 maybe
in 5 years.

How many banks...

Honest to pete - do you even realise how stupid that statement is?

Or improbable?

I think he's been drinking his liquid assets.

Some of us did, but that wasn't Harry's point, was it?

Think about this. In the past 14 years or so that Harry has been here,
broadcasting his political garbage and anti-business rhetoric, do you ever
recall him saying anything positive or respectful of his country of choice?
Has he ever offered any sense of appreciation of the opportunities and
freedom afforded him as a US citizen and resident?

I don't.

He lives to pick on the warts.

I think my country of choice is finally about to make some political
decisions I can respect. Further, I am not anti-business as much as I am
anti multi-national and large corporation.

Really? Please explain the "stupidity" or "improbability."
Be as specific as you can.

Thanks.

I can be as specific as you want, but if you have ANY major liquid
assets in a non-US based bank, you automatically fall under
anti-terrorism quidelines for the movement of said funds and/or
interest in said funds that you claim every year on your tax return.

Assuming you file one that is.

I'd be very curious as to what "non-US" bank you think is financially
sound where you don't get killed in exchange rates in moving "liguid"
assets around to make more money.

Which is the whole point of having liquid assets - to make more liguid
assets.

And I'm already tired of this discussion.

Sometimes Harry, words just can't define how stupid you sound.

Harry's point is to do what he can, with the aid of his two buddies, to
make this group untenable. 'Discourse' with him simply encourages him.
