They say that when the shoeshine boy starts talking about stocks it’s a time to get out of the market. Last week, David Letterman offered his Top Ten List,

Top Ten Signs You Have a Bad Bank

  1. Manager giggles whenever he says, “early withdrawal”
  2. They made $2 million loan to the Hillary Clinton campaign
  3. Most banks are backed by the FDIC; your bank is backed by KFC
  4. Bank robbers leave with a sack of IOUs — that’s how bad things are, ladies and gentlemen
  5. Loan officer will approve your mortgage only if you let him rub you
  6. ATM looks suspiciously like a Ms. Pac-Man machine
  7. Interest paid not in money, but in Saltines
  8. They promise they’ll have your money if you come back after tonight’s Keno drawing
  9. Instead of Andrew Jackson, their $20 bills have a picture of Tito Jackson
  10. Teller asks, “How may I swindle you?”

Maybe this is the sign that we’ve reached the bottom in this crisis, I hope so.

In a simulcast of publishing both here, and my main web page, where I publish a monthly article, I am happy to offer my List of Lists;

    Ever since 1977’s “Book of Lists“, our fascination with lists and sets of rules has grown. David Letterman’s Top Ten List has been going on for decades with no end in sight. These are Rules of Money that I’ve saved over the past few years, enough to post my favorite “List of Lists”. If I missed one of your favorites, please leave a comment and I will add it.

Take your time, enjoy the list, and send me your thoughts.
Joe
