"Do you think that a number of brokerages and hedge funds have ponied up billions or trillions of dollars that are sitting in a fund waiting for the "task force" to distribute to CMKX shareholders? And not a word of these trillions has leaked into the general press such as the WSJ?"

Investorman-clearly the RB crowd has a hard time understanding large numbers. The latest figure being tossed about is 4 trillion, which equals:

The entire market cap of the 20 companies in the DJIA

Four times the Canadian GDP

About one half of the US national debt

Almost six times the net capital of all US commercial banks as of November 14, 2005.

The combined GDP of Germany and France in 2004.

etc. Where on earth do the RB morons come up with these notions.
