Is it just us or do all these people moving their money make you feel all giddy and hopeful inside?

1. I feel giddy that I'm going through the process. My account with the credit union is

already in place.

2. We should do this once a month until everyone is out of the bank bail out business

I couldn't do it on Saturday, but I will be sure to sometime this month. There are probably a lot of people that are reluctant to because of the hassle or because they couldn't make the Nov 5th day to move their money. In any case I think an ongoing action would make the banks very nervous, much more so than just a handful of people on one day.

5. I think moving banks takes a while. I had to make a list of everything I pay through my bank...

set up an account, make sure I covered all the bases so nothing suddenly pops up, now I have to advise the folks at my job to switch my account, etc. :)

Yep, mentioning it is good.

7. Step in the right direction -

but the big banks aren't going anywhere. When someone like Bill Gates has more money than 40% of the country moving small accounts is not going to make much of a difference to them - their billionaires will stay with them. Of course, it may be enough to push BOA out of business because they are already teetering - so for that alone I'm willing to participate.

What we really need to do is nationalize them, along with the energy sector and health care.
