2. Investment by PEU’s, private equity underwriters
3. Banks dump their junk at premium prices, including 2nd liens, credit card debt, student loans, and car loans
4. Share prices rise

Bush is pushing rapidly for leaders to approve his bail out plan. Then the corporafornication can begin. Merge, exchange money, then sell the asset later....
