the United States is preparing a proposal to require systemically important banks to issue bail-inable long-term debt that will enable insolvent banks to recapitalize themselves in resolution without calling on government funding--this cushion is known as a "gone concern" buffer.”

    Time to convert to hard goods before the value of your money implodes.

    Beware the Cypriot solution: bail ins by depositors. Coming soon to an insolvent bank near you. Remember, legally a demand or time deposit (checking or savings account) is nothing more than a bank's unsecured debt. But for the FDIC, which in no way could handle massive bank runs, all you've got from your bank is a promise to pay you back, if it can, and if it can satisfy all its other creditors, including the government, before it pays you back.

    Time to check out. Anyone leaving money in a financial institution deserves what they get when it implodes.
