ya, i think that's what was called a "haircut" when Cyprus hit the wall...that term haircut seems so innocent, "it'll grow back" they say...another thing that shocked me was in '08, i was conservatively invested, lost $66K; thought ok, no big deal, will deduct from income taxes next yr...NOT SO! govt only allows $3k/yr writeoff, so am STILL writing off that '08 loss, and can only hope to live long enough to get that!!

You know, when SHTF they’ll gladly print you up $250k. You can use it to wallpaper your house.
Sure they are protected! Just call BR-549 and ask for Junior.
It will be a "Bail in".... they'll just take your money.
