Well figure that The Rothchilds are not doing well with Dubai crashing and all the dollar drops.
The Swiss bank exposures, and the off shore seizures....Asians not willing to give any money or buy debt...
The Silver Pound has taken a beating.
I imagine they are buying gold and have lots of it.

But the reason things are taking so long is that they don't want to give up what wealth they have, even with the offers being made.
The stock market is in a temporary swing, but that won't last.

So I don't have any numbers, but if you look around at how things are going, I bet they are hurting.

Not like you and me.
If they lose hundreds of millions it is not that much; maybe even a billion would not really 'hurt' them since they are worth so much.
But it is the 'principle' of the thing for them. Any loss constitutes a blow to their power.

It has been said that if Bill Gates dropped $100 bill he would lose more money stopping to pick it up than walking on by....time is money!

The banks are still giving huge bonuses, so that is an indication...yet it is just fiat/monopoly money. Still, it is holding power...but not for long.
They know this very well.
What ever they think they are worth it is nothing.
