nebenbei ex Bloomberg:

"Bank of America Corp., the second- largest U.S. bank, froze a $12 billion enhanced cash fund after losses on holdings that included short-term debt sold by structured investment vehicles.

The Columbia Strategic Cash Portfolio was closed last week and is being ``wound down,'' Robert Stickler, a spokesman for the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank, said today in an interview. The net asset value of the fund, which had $33 billion two weeks ago, was 99.4 cents on the dollar as of today, Stickler said."

Da kann man nicht meckern + Gruß!

PS: Im Web ist von 11 Mrd USD die Rede - was soll's.
