- sounds like a Colinski pickup line -- nm - zork Jan 30, 08:48
What I learned on ST Today: A loan is not to be confused with a nacho. -- nm - Diva Jan 30, 08:47 1
- But they have three of the same letters in them, Andie! -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 08:48
It really is nothing like borrowing a nacho. -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 08:46
One- different jacket sponsor, and the winner designs it themselves so if they don't like it, too bad, secon - Andie Jan 30, 08:45 12
- "Any unused portions of each Prize will be forfeited and will have no cash value" -- nm - zork Jan 30, 08:55 2

I'm sure I'll get slammed down by the financial experts here, but my understanding of all these "bailouts" is that... - Mop Jan 30, 08:42 14
- most of the bailout money for the big banks was not loans, the US Gov purchased preferred stock, and - tRuMaN Jan 30, 08:49 2
  - That's why it's not a giveaway. The gov't will get its money back. -- nm - Mop Jan 30, 08:52 1
    - [deleted]
- [deleted] 9
  - so it's not a loan. and not a nacho. and Mop is silly. -- nm - oblique, eighth best slackertalker Jan 30, 09:00 1
    - It's a series of tubes! -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 09:03
  - *is amused at the idea that the government would have to pay capital gains tax on the increase in value of its equity stakes in the banks* -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 08:50 4
    - [deleted] 3
      - Fair enough. But the common impression that the gov't is simply "giving" the money and walking away never to see it again is a misconception. - Mop Jan 30, 08:56 2

    - Well yeah...but for the longest time, Bery was one of the only folks posting on ST as it was his board. - Jim Jan 30, 08:55
    - Bery is the only one ahead. I'd think the board creator should have the most posts. Not for long I guess. -- nm - Shaun Jan 30, 08:54 1
      - Oh, completely logical. But even so - still surprised! -- nm - Roger More Jan 30, 09:01
