CEC report available online claim proof off bail in law now in effect among many other finance topics ..sorry if already posted .. I enjoyed there work .cheers
You're losing your superannuation on panicked markets because after 2008 the authorities, under orders from the banks, protected the gamblers, not the people. The banks and their political lackeys have since doubled down by cooking up the policy of "bail-in", to permanently force the people to paywith their savings and with their livesfor the gambling losses of the banks. Unless the people force governments to make amends quick-smart and enact a Glass-Steagall division of the financial systemwhich walls off and protects everyday banking that services the real economy, from the manic gambling of investment banking which is currently in meltdownwe all stand to lose everything.

Yep. I got one. Others got them as described in other threads.Results not typical said:Didn't you guys get letters from your banks last year telling you that from now on you cannot access any funds from your term deposits without 30 days notice even if you are willing to forgo the interest? That sounds like a part of a bail in law package to me...
The recent market jitters and the uptick in gold have caused many of my readers to ask the same question, 'How safe is our money in the bank?'
Everyone acknowledges the government's $250,000 deposit guarantee is in place.
However, there are fears the government may not be able to honour its promise. Or, if it does, in what form will the guarantee be invoked?
As you'll see in this think-tank which we recently recorded, these fears are not without foundation.
The deposit guarantee (as the legislation currently stands) is limited to $20 billion per institution. The big four each have deposits in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Not hard to do the maths. There's no way $20 billion is anywhere near enough to protect all deposits.
That is, of course, if a massive financial crisis puts those institutions under stress.
Could that happen?
As you'll see here, yes it could.
I show you why it could happen. What it might look like. And, crucially, several tactics you can employ now to ring-fence your savings.
For instance, did you know that, ironically, the smaller credit unions, banks and building societies with deposit bases in the millions or low billions of dollars would be totally covered by the guarantee? That runs counter to the perception of them as much weaker institutions.
So spreading your money around large, medium and small approved deposit institutions is one tactic. A form of deposit guarantee diversification. However, institution diversification is of no consequence if there is a blanket freeze on withdrawals.
