i draw the litigant's attention to the fact that two banks are now in
    a bidding and legal war for wachovia....
with the treasury hovering in the background with an unconscionable
    pile of pocket change...in case the price goes low enuf for
    government to profit from the 'opportunity

one day someone will work out why the usa continues to smile :-)

What has mortgage lender got to do with the Euro, other than that he 
lends money in Euros? This isn't a bank you know (or perhaps you don't), 
even less a central bank, it has nothing to do with the Euro just as the 
local double glazing company has nothing to do with the Euro.
