Reply #4: The only logic in parking your cash in a paper that will guarantee you will make less [View All]

than what you put into it is that you are concerned that a financial institution that you would allow to handle your investment would not only not pay you a return but would eat your total principle.

This is not boding well for the economy, nor does it bode well for anyone trying to say TARP saved the world if a year later, investors are willing to take a loss on guaranteeing their money in holding government bonds, vs. placing their money in a financial institution they fear might blow up and destroy their principle.

There is no political will for a second bailout.
