Wow..what you say is strange (about Barclay's) I don't know if anyone else saw it but I was watching CNBC because everyone was talking about Cox and while wrestling with my kids suddenly stopped when I heard a correspondent say that rumors were that Barclay's was to be possibly making a move on a us bank. Can't remember for sure but I think they said regional bank. Don't rip me apart because at that point I did not see any relevancy but wow now with "global agreement" I wouldn't say anything is outside the box with this case. Glta..wamu longs
