TED isn't going down....

[Bigmack]

I understand this whole thing is complicated, but isn't TED an indication of how loose banks are about loaning to other banks? Doesn't this indicate that the credit crisis is still developing?

1. Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) have to go down

in the Bayous for them to work. (Attached to crab traps to keep turtles out.)

Not being a smartass, just not sure about what TED you are referring to. No doubt getting a big bailout without being required to loan any of it must be a pretty cool deal.

2. TED Spread...see wiki link here

It has dropped slightly over the past several days, but considering where the norm was a year ago, this is no where near "normal"
